Equipment for disassembling a planet carrier is provided. The planet carrier includes a cage, a cage carrier, and a connection shaft. The cage includes an inner bridge and an outer bridge. The cage carrier include a finger bar to be inserted between the inner bridge and the outer bridge. The connection shaft is housed in through-holes formed in the bridges and in the finger bar, such as to retain the cage on the cage carrier. The equipment includes a jack and a support. The jack includes a body and a piston, the piston being designed to apply a force to the connection shaft. The support is designed to bear on the finger bar when the piston applies a force to the connection shaft.

The invention relates to a method for assembling (S) a planet carrier (16), comprising the following steps: separately producing (S1) the cage (20) and the cage carrier (30), providing a machining allowance at one element from among the through-holes (23, 25) in at least one upright (21) of the cage (20) or the through-hole (32) in a finger bar (31) of the cage carrier (30), and/or at one element from among a bearing seat (26) or a rolling bearing seat (41, 42); assembling (S2) the cage (20) and the cage carrier (30) and securing (S3) same to produce a one-piece assembly; determining (S4) the position of a reference axis (Y1, Y2) linked to the cage (20), to the cage carrier (30) and/or to the shaft (40); and, taking account of the position of the reference axis (Y1, Y2), machining (S5) all or part of the machining allowances.

There is a demand for further improving efficiency of a task of replacing the reduction gear of the robot. A jig configured to support a reduction gear connecting a first element and a second element of a robot to be enabled to perform a speed reduction operation on each other, when the second element is separated from the first element includes a fixed portion removably mounted to the first element or the second element, a movable portion rotationally or translationally movably mounted to the fixed portion, and a support mounted to the movable portion and configured to suspend and support the reduction gear in a gravity direction.

Drive units for a vehicle having an electric machine and a transmission device are disclosed, as well as methods for assembling the drive units. The method may include mounting the transmission device in a transmission housing; passing an assembly mandrel axially through an aperture in the transmission housing and through a pinion shaft, which is designed as a hollow shaft and is rotatably mounted in the transmission housing; and centering a rotor shaft, which is designed at least partially as a hollow shaft, on the assembly mandrel. A rotor of the electric machine may be pushed axially onto the rotor shaft; the rotor shaft may be inserted axially into the pinion shaft, wherein a set of splines on the rotor shaft engages in a set of splines on the pinion shaft; a stator of the electric machine may be pushed axially onto the rotor of the electric machine and fixing the stator on the transmission housing; and the assembly mandrel may be removed and the aperture in the transmission housing may be closed with a closure cover.

An output shaft support structure includes: an output shaft; and a supporting body that supports the output shaft, the output shaft including: a rotating shaft; a first rolling bearing fixed to one end section of the rotating shaft; a second rolling bearing fixed to the other end section of the rotating shaft; and a secondary reduction driven gear including a boss section fixed to the rotating shaft. For a predetermined period, the boss section of the secondary reduction driven gear contacts the second rolling bearing, and a lower end of the rotating shaft is always separated from the supporting body.

A method for attaching a gear driving part of this disclosure includes a first step of inserting a positioning bolt (23) into a positioning hole (21) of a first gear from a front side, and then screwing the positioning bolt into a screw hole (24) of a fixation-side member to regulate a phase of the first gear with respect to the fixation-side member; and a second step of inserting a portion of the bolt protruding to a front side of the first gear into a hole (22) of the gear case, and meshing the first gear with the second gear while positioning the fixation-side member in a predetermined phase position of the gear case.

The differential device measuring tool measures an inflow amount of lubricating oil flowing into a housing space through a communication hole during the rotation of a differential case having a case main body in which the housing space and the communication hole are formed and a bearing boss having a through-hole protruding from the case main body and communicating with the housing space. The measuring tool has a collecting portion and a deriving portion. The collecting portion does not interfere with the rotating differential case in the housing space in which the differential gear mechanism is not housed, and has a recess opening and collects the lubricating oil flowing into the housing space through the communication hole. The deriving portion is inserted through the through-hole of the bearing boss and have a deriving flow channel. The deriving flow channel communicates with the recess, and extends to the outside.

A device for performing strengthening treatment on a tooth root of a gear, a punch driver, a tooth root strengthening treatment device and a punch moving device are provided according to the present application. The device for performing the strengthening treatment on the tooth root of the gear according to the present application can impact a tooth root of a gear to be processed continuously under the action of the punch driver, and has a high efficiency while having a stable effect. The device in the present application is not limited by a complicated geometrical shape and a narrow space of the tooth root. Thus, it may be known that the devices according to the present application can address the issue of a low efficiency and poor effect in a current shot peening technique during performing the strengthening treatment on the tooth root.
