  • Publication number: 20240328500
    Abstract: An arrangement includes a drive-side transmission with an output shaft of the transmission, which extends along an axis. A work machine with a drive shaft is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the output shaft. To improve stability and to save space, the transmission on the work machine, by the connection between the output shaft and the drive shaft and a torque arm, is supported to the extent of at least 90% of the forces arising during operation. The connection of the output shaft and the drive shaft is configured to be flexurally stiff to support transverse forces. The axial end of the drive shaft is embodied as a hollow shaft. The axial end of the output shaft has a stub which is disposed at least partially in the hollow shaft of the drive shaft.

  • Patent number: 12038080
    Abstract: A supporting device includes first and second supporting flanges coupled with first and second transmissions, respectively, and a support via which a supporting force is transmittable from the first supporting flange to the second supporting flange. The support includes a lever element which is coupled in an articulated manner with an attachment element on the first supporting flange and thus articulated with the first supporting flange, and a supporting element which is coupled in an articulated manner with the lever element and connected to the second supporting flange and which includes two spaced-apart supporting parts. The lever element is arranged partly between two spaced-apart attachment parts of the attachment element and partly between the supporting parts of the supporting element and is coupled in an articulated manner with the attachment element via the attachment parts and in an articulated manner with the supporting element via the supporting parts.

  • Patent number: 10677331
    Abstract: A vertical mill gearbox includes a drive shaft mounted in a casing for rotation about a rotation axis, and an intermediate shaft configured as a hollow shaft and mounted in the casing for rotation about a vertical second rotation axis. The intermediate shaft has a bevel gear meshing with a bevel-gear pinion of the drive shaft. A torsion shaft is received in fixed rotative engagement with the intermediate shaft and sized to extend beyond the intermediate shaft to define a projecting section to which a sun gear rotatably driven via the intermediate shaft is fixed. A planet carrier is mounted in the casing for rotation about the second rotation axis and rotatably supports an internal gear having an internal tooth system. Mounted to the planet carrier is a rotatable planet gear which meshes with the sun gear and with the internal tooth system of the internal gear.

  • Patent number: 10626978
    Abstract: A transmission includes a transmission housing with an oil reservoir and a transmission housing cover to close an opening of the transmission housing. A transmission shaft receives a toothed wheel and which can be driven by way of a motor. A cooler is arranged on the outside of the transmission housing, with a fan arranged on the outside of the transmission housing feeding cooling air to the cooler. An oil delivery pump pumps oil through oil delivery lines from the oil reservoir to the cooler, with an oil return line routing oil from the cooler back to the transmission housing. A separate drive motor drives the fan and the oil delivery pump independently of the transmission shaft, with the drive motor, the fan, the cooler and the oil delivery pump being fastened to the transmission housing cover.

  • Publication number: 20190257408
    Abstract: An oil conveying and storage device for reducing an oil level in an oil sump of a gearbox during operation of the gearbox includes a first piston mounted for executing a forward and backward movement, an intake chamber having a volume which varies in response to the forward and backward movement of the first piston, and a work cylinder. A thermal transfer wax is received in the work cylinder, and a second piston is received in the work cylinder and connected to the first piston. The second piston is moved in a temperature-dependent manner via the thermal transfer wax such that the volume of the intake chamber is increased as the temperature rises.
