A gearbox assembly includes a housing, a first shaft assembly having a worm gear and supported relative to the housing by a first bearing assembly, and a second shaft assembly including a wheel gear which is also supported relative to the housing by a second bearing assembly, the wheel gear engaging with the worm of the worm gear to permit the transfer of torque between the two shaft assemblies, wherein the first shaft assembly includes an elongate shaft carrying the worm gear, and a separate dog drive mechanism secured to one end of the elongate shaft by the first bearing such that in use torque is transferred between the elongate shaft and the dog drive mechanism.

This invention relates to a drive system which automatically disengages when a loading above a certain threshold limit is applied to the driven component, thus preventing damage to the drive system and foremost to the gearing between the drive system and the driven component when such a load is applied.

Provided is a differential transmission. The differential transmission includes a pin-gear type main body unit which includes a pin-gear type main body housing in which input or output is performed through a plurality of pins, the plurality of pins being rotatably coupled in a circumferential direction of an outer circumferential surface thereof, a high-speed shaft provided at one side of the pin-gear type main body housing and through which input or output of a first speed that is a relatively high speed is performed, a low-speed shaft provided at the other side of the pin-gear type main body housing and through which input or output of a second speed that is less than the first speed is performed, and a reduction portion provided inside the pin-gear type main body housing and reducing an input speed; and a high-speed shaft connection unit connected to the high-speed shaft of the pin-gear type main body unit and through which input or output is performed through the high-speed shaft.

A pinion (1) including a pin gear allows easy engagement with or disengagement from a mating gear. The pinion (1) includes a plurality of pins (2) as teeth, and includes a first plate (4) and a second plate (5) described below. The first plate (4) interconnects first ends of the pins (2). The second plate (5) is spaced from the first plate (4) in the rotation axis direction of the pinion (1), and interconnects second ends of the pins (2). The second plate (5) has, on its outer peripheral edge, recesses (15, 16) each between two pins (2) adjacent circumferentially. The recesses (15, 16) recede inward from inner circumferential ends of the pins (2). The pinion (1) is moved axially for engagement with or disengagement from the rack (3). The pinion (1) increases flexibility at the time of engagement with or disengagement from a mating gear.

A gear transmission system embodying a unique twin pitch belt is provided. The twin pitch belt provides external first pitch gear teeth and a second pitch gear teeth synchronously engaging a fixed housing gear teeth and output gear teeth, respectively. The first and second pitch gear teeth may have the same gear pitch if different number of teeth though offset by a distance relative to each other. The first and second pitch gear teeth have less teeth than the housing and output gear teeth, in turn twice countering the rotation of an input shaft operatively associated with the twin pitch belt, resulting in the output gear teeth rotating in the same direction as the input shaft.

The present application provides a mechanical gearbox, comprising a wheel oriented vertically; a first set of teeth on a first face of the wheel defining a first gear; a second set of teeth on a second face of the wheel defining a second gear; an input gear operably engaged with the first set of teeth on the first gear; an output gear operably engaged with the second set of teeth on the second gear; wherein the input gear and the first gear have different circular pitches, and/or the second gear and the output gear have different circular pitches.

A roller pinion for rotating about a central axis generally includes a core having an axial bore at its center for mounting on a drive shaft and recesses extending the length of the core. The recesses define faces with a plurality of regularly distributed sectors extending between them. The roller pinion also includes a cage associated with a plurality of rollers. The cage extends around the outer peripheral surface of the core, and presents, facing the outer peripheral surface of the core, a concentric spherical inner surface that faces the recesses of the core. Protuberances are provided that extend into the recesses. The protuberances have faces positioned parallel to and facing the faces of the recesses. Metal strips arranged in bundles with elastomer material interposed between the strips are inserted in a space between the respective faces of one recess in the core and one protuberance of the cage.

A cycloid speed reducer includes a weight element, an input shaft and a cycloid disc. The weight element is disposed within an accommodation space of the cycloid disc. An eccentric part is disposed on the input shaft. Since the length of the input shaft is reduced, the overall length of the cycloid speed reducer is shortened. Moreover, the mass center of the weight element and the mass center of the eccentric part and the cycloid disc are arranged along the same axial direction. That is, the line passing through the mass center of the weight element and the mass center of the eccentric part and the cycloid disc is perpendicular to the input shaft. Consequently, the efficacy of the dynamic balance of the cycloid speed reducer is enhanced.
