A drivetrain for an aircraft includes an engine, a driveshaft to receive rotational energy from the engine and a gearbox including a multistage planetary gear system to receive rotational energy from the driveshaft. The multistage planetary gear system includes an integral multistage ring gear system having flanged and cantilevered ends. The integral multistage ring gear system forms a first stage ring gear at the cantilevered end and a second stage ring gear interposed between the flanged end and the first stage ring gear. The multistage planetary gear system includes a first stage sun gear, first stage planet gears and a first stage carrier. The first stage planet gears mate with the first stage ring gear. The multistage planetary gear system includes a second stage sun gear, second stage planet gears and a second stage carrier. The second stage planet gears mate with the second stage ring gear.

A transmission includes a transmission main housing, an intermediate plate secured to the transmission main housing; and a rear housing attached to the intermediate plate and/or attached with fasteners through the intermediate plate to the main housing. An input shaft is connected to an extension shaft including a plurality of splitter gears selectively couple-able to the extension shaft. A main shaft is rotatably supported by the range shaft and range shaft bearing and includes a plurality of main box gears selectively couple-able to the main shaft. A range shaft is drivingly connected to the main shaft and provides input to a planetary gear assembly. The extension shaft is supported at a first end by a bearing assembly within a partition wall of the main transmission housing and a second end is supported by a bearing assembly disposed within the bore in the range shaft.

A differential assembly including a differential housing, a gear assembly, a shaft, and a ring gear. The differential housing generally includes a peripheral wall, first and second end walls connected to the peripheral wall and spaced apart along a rotational axis so that the peripheral wall and the first and second end walls, in combination, define an internal cavity, a transitional region defined in the differential housing where the second end wall meets the peripheral wall, and a first window formed through the peripheral wall, the transitional region, and/or the second end wall and into the internal cavity, the first window including a central portion and first and second ear portions adjoining the central portion and extending outwardly therefrom. The first window defines a shape when projected perpendicularly onto a first plane including both the rotational axis and a pinion axis, said pinion axis extending perpendicular to the rotational axis.

The invention relates to a hydrodynamic transmission gear-box that contains two pump wheels, which are round flat disks, on the front peripheral part of which installed firmly are radially directed blades. The first wheel is rigidly connected to the input shaft. The second and subsequent pump wheels, each with a diameter greater than the previous one, are mounted with their own hubs onto the hubs of the preceding pump wheels with the possibility of free rotation on them. On the back side of each disk, a device is installed to block it with the next pump wheel, and the last pump wheel—with the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is mounted on the input shaft and in the crankcase of the drive device on bearings and is connected to vehicle's reverse mechanism and running gear. Reduction in weight and size, increase of service life and performance improvement are achieved.

A reduction in the amount of filled grease and a reduction in weight are achieved, and an excessive rise in the internal pressure is suppressed. Provided is a gearbox including: a plurality of gears that are rotated by a motor; a housing that has a sealed interior space for rotatably accommodating the respective gears; and a spacer that is disposed in the interior space of the housing and that partially occupies the interior space, wherein the spacer has a lower density than grease and is elastically deformable so as to change the volume thereof according to the internal pressure of the interior space.

A housing for a transmission, in particular an actuator housing. The housing having a housing wall and ribs that protrude from the housing wall to the outside and/or inside. The protruding ribs are at least partially arranged such that they form a honeycomb-shaped structure on the housing wall.

A carrier assembly includes a first portion having a cover flange. A second portion is coupled with the cover flange. A first trunnion is coupled with the first portion, and a second trunnion coupled with the first portion opposite the first trunnion. A first trunnion rib is coupled with the first portion, wherein the first trunnion rib projects outward from the first portion. A second trunnion rib is coupled with the first portion, wherein the second trunnion rib projects outward from the first portion. The first and second trunnion ribs are offset from a trunnion centerline.
