Abstract:
A transmission is subject to gear shift management that provides for shifting gears in a controlled manner in order to provide for a simplification of part and reduction in system complexity. In particular, a range synchronizer component can be replaced with a simplified range jaw clutch, without incurring a requirement for an installation of other components such as a motor generator or starter-generator.
Abstract:
The present application discloses a gear device provided with: an outer cylinder; an internal member at least partially housed in the outer cylinder and configured to rotate relative to the outer cylinder about a predetermined rotation axis; a first main bearing fitted into an annular space formed between the outer cylinder and the internal member; and a second main bearing fitted into the annular space and configured to define the rotation axis in cooperation with the first main bearing. A distance between a first intersection where a load action line of the first main bearing intersects with the rotation axis and a second intersection where a load action line of the second main bearing intersects with the rotation axis is set to fall within a range expressed by a predetermined inequality expression.
Abstract:
The present disclosure generally refers to a transmission comprising a transmission housing and at least one transmission stage arranged in the transmission housing. The transmission stage may include, coaxially with respect to an axis, a sun gear, a planet carrier with at least two planet gears rotatably mounted on the planet carrier; and an internal gear as transmission parts. At least one stop means may be provided for limiting the axial movement of two transmission parts which are movable relative to one another. The stop means may comprise a ball pair with a first ball assigned to a first transmission part and a second ball assigned to a second transmission part. The two balls may be arranged so as to be rotatable about their ball center on the axis.
Abstract:
A driving force transmitting device includes a first gear that rotates about the same rotational shaft as that of a small wheel portion and a second gear that engages with the small wheel portion and to which a rotational driving force is transmitted from the first gear. A rib member that rotatably supports the second gear is provided at a rotational center of the second gear. A first end portion of a rotational shaft is pivotally supported by an attachment plate within a root circle of the first gear. The annular rib member is provided on a web face of the first gear. The rib member has the same rotational shaft as the first gear and co-rotates with the first gear while supporting a second end portion of the rotational shaft.
Abstract:
A gear structure comprising: a reinforcement member fixed onto a side surface of a gear; and a fixation section configured to fix the reinforcement member onto the side surface of the gear, the fixation section being provided on a line of contact action of the gear.
Abstract:
A gearing system using modular gear bearing components. Each component is composed of a core, one or more modules attached to the core and two or more fastening modules rigidly attaching the modules to the core. The modules, which are attached to the core, may consist of gears, rollers or gear bearing components. The core orientation affects the orientation of the modules attached to the core. This is achieved via the keying arrangement of the core and the component modules that attach to the core. Such an arrangement will also facilitate the phase tuning of gear modules with respect to the core and other gear modules attached to the core.
Abstract:
Thrust cam (1) for a gear wheel transmission (17), characterized in that it is at least made of two separate parts (2,3) which can move in relation to each other.
Abstract:
This invention obviates the need for an end roller in the traditional gear bearing design without giving up the desired bearing functions. The preferred embodiment of the partial gear bearing of the invention includes an upper half, comprising peak partial teeth, and a lower, or bottom, half, comprising valley partial teeth. The upper half also has an integrated roller section between each of the peak partial teeth with a radius equal to the gear pitch radius of the radially outwardly extending peak partial teeth. Conversely, the lower half has an integrated roller section between each of the valley half teeth with a radius also equal to the gear pitch radius of the peak partial teeth. The valley partial teeth extend radially inwardly from its roller section. The peak and valley partial teeth are exactly out of phase with each other, as are the roller sections of the upper and lower halves. Essentially, the end roller bearing of the typical gear bearing has been integrated into the normal gear tooth pattern.
Abstract:
A gear drive mechanism with two rotary gears meshing with each other has a first friction rim surface rotationally coupled to one of the two gears and a second friction rim surface rotationally coupled to the other of the two gears. The friction rim surfaces are in mutual contact with each other and thereby enabled to transmit a friction-based torque between each other.
Abstract:
A gear bearing having a first gear and a second gear, each having a plurality of teeth. Each gear operates on two non-parallel surfaces of the opposing gear teeth to perform both gear and bearing functions simultaneously. The gears are moving at substantially the same speed at their contact points. The gears may be roller gear bearings or phase-shifted gear bearings, and may be arranged in a planet/sun system or used as a transmission.
