    摘要: A hydraulic transaxle of the present invention includes an axle, a hydraulic static transmission (“HST”), a center case that has pair of oil passages for circulating the hydraulic oil between the hydraulic pump and the hydraulic motor, and a gear mechanism that transmits an output of the HST to the axle. A case supports the axle and accommodates the HST while also forming an oil reservoir. A hydraulic motor of the HST includes a motor shaft, a cylinder block with a plurality of cylinders fixed to the motor shaft, a plurality of pistons inserted into the cylinders, a fixed swash plate abutted by the plurality of pistons, and a fixed swash plate holder that supports the fixed swash plate with respect to the case. The motor shaft of the hydraulic motor is supported by the center case and the fixed swash plate holder.

    摘要: In a power-transmitting mechanism with rolling-element bearing according to the present invention, an inner ring has plural inner ring members disposed in series in an axial direction, an outer ring has plural outer ring members respectively cooperating with the plural inner ring members. Plural rolling elements are disposed between the cooperating inner ring members and outer ring members. A retainer has plural partitions retaining the plural rolling elements at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction such that rolling elements disposed between one pair of cooperating inner ring and outer ring members and rolling elements disposed between another pair of cooperating inner ring and outer ring members orbit the corresponding inner ring members in a synchronized manner, and a connector connecting the plural partitions such that the plural partitions integrally rotate around an axis.

    摘要: A transaxle casing has a fluid sump having a gear top cover, an HST, a reduction gear train and at least one axle disposed in the transaxle casing. The gear top cover accommodates a part of a rotation portion of the reduction gear train. An air supply and exhaust hole is disposed on an upper surface of the gear top cover facing an air sump and is arranged at a position different from a point above a bevel gear. A breather is attached at the air supply and exhaust hole, and a first inner wall extending downward from the upper surface of the upper casing member, is positioned between the part of the bevel gear and the air supply and exhaust hole.
