  • Patent number: 9303753
    Abstract: A device for ventilating a transmission includes a first component configured for fixed arrangement on the transmission and a second component configured for movable arrangement on an outer side of a transmission housing of the transmission. The first and second components are connected to one another by a joint which permits a movement of the first and second components relative to one another. A pipeline extends along the first and second components and has first and second ends for an air exchange, with the first end of the pipeline arranged on the first component and with the second end of the pipeline arranged on the second component. The second component has a center of gravity which is located opposite to the second end of the pipeline in relation to a connecting point between the joint and the second component.

  • Publication number: 20150159697
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an oil retaining ring (1), and to an oil retaining ring (1). The method comprises the following steps: primary forming of a blank, which has a groove (43) intended as an oil runout, with an oil retaining edge formed in the groove (43); machining the blank on at least one circumferential surface (2) and/or at least one plane surface (3, 12) to form a finished part (1) with predetermined diameters (di, dm) or plane surfaces (3, 12); and leaving the groove (43) intended as an oil runout in the state obtained by primary forming on the finished part (1).

  • Patent number: 8800406
    Abstract: In a transmission series different versions of lubricant supply pumps have a uniformly designed and dimensioned coupling pin between lubricant supply pump and transmission drive shaft or take-off shaft. In addition different versions of lubricant supply pumps have a uniformly designed and dimensioned mechanical interface on their drive shaft-side housing end face side. This mechanical interface includes a centering shoulder radially surrounding the coupling pin and a circle of holes concentric to the centering shoulder provided with threaded holes for attachment screws on the drive shaft-side end face side of the lubricant supply pump.
