  • Patent number: 11927261
    Abstract: A geared motor, e.g., a gear unit or a bevel gear unit, which is able to be driven by an electric motor, includes a housing part, which is produced by a die casting method, during or after which sliders are moved, in particular pulled out, in respective drawing directions for the demolding, and an input shaft. The housing part includes a channel, demolded in a first drawing direction, in particular, using a first slider, the channel being adapted to extend through the wall of the housing and ending in the interior space region of the gear unit. The drawing direction has a non-vanishing angle in relation to the axis of rotation of the input shaft, its angle in particular amounting to between 5° and 45°, e.g., between 5° and 20°.

  • Patent number: 11732793
    Abstract: A geared motor includes a gear unit having a first intermediate shaft, an input shaft and an output shaft. The gear unit has two connection surfaces set apart from each other to which a device to be driven by the gear unit is connectable to the gear unit, each connection surface having a drilling pattern. The housing part is asymmetrical such that the plane whose normal direction is aligned in parallel with the axis of rotation of the first intermediate shaft and includes the axis of rotation of the input shaft, is no plane of symmetry in relation to the entire outer surface of the housing part and also no plane of symmetry in relation to the housing wall of the housing part. The plane is a plane of symmetry with regard to the two connection surfaces together with their drilling patterns.
