    摘要: A first and second hub assembly supported by an independent suspension system allows the independent articulation of each hub assembly. An input gear box includes a reduction gear set that drives a reduction gear set at each hub assembly. The input gear box is mounted offset from the first axis and the vehicle longitudinal axis to simultaneously drive both hub assemblies to allow a lowered vehicle floor profile.

    摘要: A compound gear assembly includes two gears, each gear respectively including interlocking features, which may be complimentary arcuate sections, for transferring torque between the gears. A clearance between the respective arcuate sections permits the gears to move radially relative to one another, which ensures that the gears mesh in a desired manner with the gears to which they are coupled. A retainer is inserted into an annular groove located circumferentially about the respective arcuate sections, which secures one gear to another.

    摘要: A drive axle assembly for a low floor vehicle utilizes a single input gear assembly to drive a pair of laterally spaced wheel ends. The input gear assembly is positioned next to one of the wheel ends so that the vehicle floor can be lowered to facilitate passenger access to the vehicle. Each wheel end includes a gear reduction assembly with a ring gear rotatably mounted within a gear housing. A drive gear is operatively coupled to the input gear assembly and is in meshing engagement with the ring gear. The gear reduction assembly also includes an output or driven gear, which is larger than the drive gear, to provide the desired gear reduction. The driven gear is also in meshing engagement with the ring gear. A pair of idler gears is rotatably mounted within the gear housing and are in meshing engagement with both the drive and driven gear. The idler gears and drive gear do not have a common centerline. The assembly thus provides toothed contact via three gear sets combinations, which equalizes loading and eliminates the need for support bearings for the drive and driven gears.

    摘要翻译: 用于低地板车辆的驱动桥组件使用单个输入齿轮组件来驱动一对横向间隔开的轮端。 输入齿轮组件位于车轮端部之一旁边,使得可以降低车辆地板以便于乘客进入车辆。 每个车轮端部包括齿轮减速组件,其具有可旋转地安装在齿轮壳体内的齿圈。 驱动齿轮可操作地联接到输入齿轮组件并且与齿圈啮合。 齿轮减速组件还包括大于驱动齿轮的输出或从动齿轮,以提供所需的齿轮减速。 从动齿轮也与齿圈啮合。 一对空转齿轮可旋转地安装在齿轮箱内并与驱动齿轮和从动齿轮啮合。 空转齿轮和传动齿轮没有共同的中心线。 因此,该组件通过三个齿轮组合组合提供齿形接触,其均衡负载并且消除了用于驱动和从动齿轮的支撑轴承的需要。

    摘要: An independent suspension module includes a plurality of control members that are positioned to allow the suspension module to be used on low profile vehicles such as low floor buses. The suspension module includes a plurality of control members that couple a support member to the vehicle structure so that the suspension module is appropriately supported relative to the vehicle. The control members include a first end supported near a vertical portion of the lower surface of the vehicle. A second end of at least some of the control members are supported on the support member of the suspension module such that the second ends are positioned between the inboard and outboard sides of the wheels.

    摘要: A wheel hub assembly includes a first bearing assembly, a wheel hub, a grease retainer, and a second bearing assembly mounted on a spindle. The grease retainer extends between and in engagement with the first bearing cup, and the second bearing cup. The grease retainer is formed of a resilient material, to maintain the retainer against the bearing cups such that the required grease fill is reduced and prevents grease from escaping the bearing assemblies.
