A device for transmitting a torque from a drive device (200) onto a roller in a roll stand. In order to make the device independent from the continuous external supply of lubricant, the lubricant spaces in the two pivot bearings are connected to one another in a fluidically conductive manner by way of a feed channel and a return channel for the lubricant in the region of the spindle such that a closed circuit for the lubricant is formed, and that the least one pump device is integrated in the circuit in order to maintain the circulation of the lubricant in the circuit.

A gear spindle coupling includes a spindle shaft having a driven end and a drive end, the drive end operatively connected to drive a hub gear that is located within a ring gear. The ring gear has an external diameter of at least 200 mm and an internal diameter of at least 100 mm, and the ring gear is of a steel material. The ring gear has a plurality of inwardly extending ring gear teeth. The hub gear is sized to fit within the ring gear and has a plurality of outwardly extending hub gear teeth, each of which is disposed between an adjacent pair of ring gear teeth. Each of the ring gear teeth includes oppositely facing flanks that are each crowned, and each of the hub gear teeth includes oppositely facing flanks that are each crowned.

A toothing, in particular of a drive spindle for driving a roll in rolling mills or continuous casting plants, which has several teeth and meshes with a second toothing in the manner of a spline, wherein a flank line of the teeth has a curvature, and a deflection angle is formed between the rotational axis of the second toothing and the rotational axis of the drive spindle toothing, and wherein the teeth of drive spindle toothing have a twist in form of profile angle deviation over the tooth width in the flank direction.
