  • Patent number: 11105410
    Abstract: A transmission device is provided having a transmission housing, a gear set received in the transmission device having a first gear wheel, which is rotatable about a first gear wheel axis, and a second gear wheel, which engages the first gear wheel and is rotatable abut a second gear wheel axis. In a lateral region of the first gear wheel, there is an oil guidance structure, which is designed as a component produced separately from the transmission housing, and comprises an orifice segment extending radially to the first gear wheel axis, and extends at least in part about the first transmission axis and forms a first lateral surface facing the gear wheel, leaving an intermediate space.

  • Patent number: 7997396
    Abstract: An overrunning clutch clamping body for an overrunning clutch comprises a first contact surface and a second contact surface for contacting respective clamping raceways. The curvature of the contact surfaces deviates from zero in each direction. Each of the contact surfaces is configured symmetrically both to a first plane (E1) extending normal to the axis of rotation of the overrunning clutch and to a second plane (E2) that is perpendicular to the first plane (E1), and the shape of the first contact surface corresponds to the shape of the second contact surface.

  • Patent number: 6644138
    Abstract: An idler gear (7) is mounted in a variable speed gear transmission (1) on a rolling bearing crown ring (10) whose first and second rolling elements (12, 20) are guided in a cage (11) and have different diameters. The first and second rolling elements (12, 20) are of a same type, size ratios between the first and second rolling elements are defined so that, in an unloaded state, the larger diameter of the second rolling elements (20) is such as to become equal to a diameter of the first rolling elements (12) in an engaged state under radial loading, whereby a limit of elasticity of the second rolling elements (20) having the larger diameter in the unloaded state is not exceeded.
