  • Publication number: 20190186613
    Abstract: The invention relates to a planetary transmission (100), comprising a housing (110), a drive part, an output part having an output shaft that is rotatable about an output axis of rotation, and at least one gear stage between the drive part and the output part. The drive part, the at least one gear stage, and the output part are mounted in the housing (110). On the output side, the housing (110) has an output flange (140), wherein the output flange has a first lateral face (115), which in radial planes is circularly symmetrical about an axis of symmetry. The first lateral face (115) is arranged eccentrically with respect to the output axis of rotation. Due to the eccentricity of the lateral face (115) with respect to the output axis of rotation, a component mounted on the output part, for example, a pinion (20) or a belt pulley, can be adjusted by twice the value of the eccentric by way of a rotation of the planetary transmission (100).
