Electric actuator
An electric actuator includes a motor, a speed reduction mechanism, and a bearing fixed to a motor shaft having an eccentric axis portion. The speed reduction mechanism has: an externally toothed gear, an internally toothed gear, a facing member arranged facing the externally toothed gear, and column members arranged to protrude from one member of the facing member and the externally toothed gear toward the other member and surround the motor axis. The other member has hole portions arranged to surround the motor axis. The column members are inserted into the hole portions respectively, and support the externally toothed gear to be swingable around the motor axis via an inner side surface of each of the hole portions. At least one of the column members is attached to the one member in a manner of being rotatable around a central axis of the at least one column member.
Vehicle driveline component having a lubrication de-aerator
A vehicle driveline component with a housing, a rotary power transmission system, a lubricant and a lubrication de-aerator. The housing defines a cavity and a sump. The rotary power transmission system is received in the cavity and includes a plurality of gears that are in meshing engagement. The lubricant is received in the sump and is employed to lubricate the rotary power transmission system. The lubrication de-aerator is received in the housing and has at least one matrix of de-aeration cells that extend between an upper surface and a lower surface. Each of the de-aeration cells has a cell inlet, which is formed through the upper surface, and a cell outlet that is formed through the lower surface. Each of the de-aeration cells tapers between its cell inlet and its cell outlet.
BEARING SUPPORT FOR PARALLEL ELECTRIC AXLE GEAR ASSEMBLY
Bearings (72, 74) are arranged for a drive unit (10) having an electric motor for providing drive to an electric axle and a wheel assembly of a vehicle. The drive unit includes a pair of bearings and a reduction gear assembly (12) with a first drive gear mounted to and coaxial with the main shaft of the motor, and a first driven gear rotatably coupled to the first drive gear and mounted to and coaxial with an intermediate shaft to form an intermediate shaft assembly. The reduction gear assembly includes a second drive gear mounted to and coaxial with the intermediate shaft, and a second driven gear rotatably coupled with the second drive gear. A first bearing of said pair of bearings is mounted to a bulkhead and to said intermediate shaft assembly between the first driven gear and second drive gear to reduce the distance between the first and second bearings.
ENCAPSULATED GEAR TRAIN FOR A MACHINE
An encapsulated gear train gear train for a machine comprising a support frame, which is non-encasing, an input shaft rotatably mounted in the support frame, an output shaft rotatably mounted in the support frame, gears configured to operatively connect the input shaft with the output shaft, and an encasement configured to encapsulate the input shaft, the output shaft, the gears, and at least a portion of the support frame, wherein the support frame is configured to be mounted on a structure of the machine such that the support frame does not apply any loads onto the encasement.
AIR COOLING ASSEMBLY
The present document relates to an air cooling assembly comprising a transmission assembly, a coupling housing mounted on the transmission assembly, a transmission input shaft at least partially disposed within the coupling housing and defining an axial direction, an air fan mounted on the transmission input shaft, and a fan hood at least partially enclosing the coupling housing and at least partially extending over the transmission assembly in the axial direction. The fan hood is configured to guide an air flow created by the air fan for cooling the transmission assembly.
Reduction gearbox
A reduction gearbox which has: an input, which can be coupled to an input shaft, which has an input speed; an output, which rotates at an output speed that is lower than the input speed; and at least one statically arranged component. It is envisaged that an electric generator is integrated into the reduction gearbox, said generator comprising a rotor and a stator, wherein the rotor of the electric generator is coupled to the output of the reduction gearbox, and the stator of the electric generator is coupled to a statically arranged component of the reduction gearbox.
PLANETARY GEARBOX, IN PARTICULAR MULTI-PLANETARY GEARBOX, FOR A WIND TURBINE
A planetary gearbox for a wind power installation includes a planetary carrier having a first and second carrier cheeks, planetary gears mounted rotatably on the first and second carrier cheeks via bearing pins, respectively, an internal gear meshing with the planetary gears, with an assembly clearance being configured between a cheek external diameter of the first and second carrier cheeks and an internal diameter of the internal gear, and a planetary carrier spider configured to position the first and second carrier cheeks at a defined spacing with respect to one another. The planetary carrier spider has a radially outwardly pointing outer side which extends at a greater spaced-apart relation radially inward from a radially inner tip circle radius of an internal toothing system of the internal gear than the first and second carrier cheeks and which is arranged radially outside with respect to an internal diameter of the planetary gears.
TRANSMISSION GEARBOX FOR TRUCK ELECTRIC DRIVE AXLE
A gearbox for a vehicle includes a primary shaft configured to rotate about a first axis, a distribution gear, a transmission gear arranged around the primary shaft, an auxiliary shaft configured to rotate around a second axis, an auxiliary output gear and an auxiliary transmission gear arranged around the auxiliary shaft, an output gear arranged around the primary shaft for transmitting a power out of the gearbox, and a gear shift system slidable between at least two positions. The gear shift system is configured to rotationally engage the distribution gear and the output gear for transmitting the power directly from the primary shaft to the output gear, or the distribution gear and the transmission gear for transmitting the power indirectly from the primary shaft to the output gear through the auxiliary shaft.
DRIVE DEVICE
A drive device includes a motor having a motor shaft that rotates, a motor housing unit that houses the motor, a gear unit that transmits rotation of the motor shaft to an intermediate shaft, and an inverter housing unit that houses the inverter, wherein the inverter housing unit is disposed above the intermediate shaft, a lower wall portion of the inverter housing unit faces outside air, and the inverter housing unit has a vent that allows an inside of the inverter housing unit and an outside below the inverter housing unit to communication with each other.
Transmission Gear Assembly with a Breather Cavity
A transmission gear assembly including a housing with an axial center line, having a front wall and a circumferential wall with a breather opening. The front wall includes an annular groove in fluid communication with the breather opening and covered by a substantially circular plate having a perimeter at a first distance (r) from the axial center line and with a predetermined length (L). On each transverse side in at least the lower part, an air/oil inlet and outlet is defined by a recess of the perimeter at a distance (r.sub.3,r.sub.4) from the axial center line smaller than the first distance (r), each recess being in fluid communication with the annular groove.
