Abstract:
An epicyclic reduction unit (1) for applications with an upward output, which comprises a casing (2) for containing at least one first epicyclic reduction stage (3) that is interposed between an input actuation unit (5) and an output shaft (6) that is arranged in an upper region, the first stage (3) being composed of a driving sun gear (7) that rotates about a main rotation axis (R) that is vertical and a ring gear (8) that is integral with the casing (2), between which a plurality of planet gears (9) is engaged which are supported in rotation about their own longitudinal axis and about the rotation axis (R) by a driven planet carrier (10), which in turn rotates about the rotation axis (R), means (16) being provided for connecting by suspension at least the planet carrier (10) of the first stage (3) to the output shaft (6), the sun gear (7) of the first stage (3) resting on the input actuation unit (5), which actuates it in rotation about the rotation axis (R).
Abstract:
A compact geared reduction unit (1) for application with transmission shaft subjected to radial loads, comprising a substantially box-like body (2) inside which a gear system (3) is accommodated for the transmission of rotary motion from a driving shaft (4) to a transmission shaft (5), which is provided with an output reduction stage (7) of the epicyclic type. The output reduction stage (7) comprises a driving sun gear (8) which rotates about a main axis (A) and a ring gear (9) which is integrally associated with the substantially box-like body (2), between which multiple planet gears (10) are engaged which are supported in rotation about respective longitudinal axes which are parallel to the main axis (A) by a transmission planet carrier (11), which in turn rotates about the main axis and is associated so as to be integral in rotation with the transmission shaft (5) at a connection region (12). The reduction unit (1) furthermore provides for rolling means (14) adapted to support radial loads associated with the transmission shaft (5) for the rotational guiding thereof. The rolling means (14) comprise a first radial bearing (15) which is interposed in a radial direction between the substantially box-like body (2) and the planet carrier (11) and a second radial bearing (16) which is interposed radially between the body and the transmission shaft (5), the first and second bearings (15, 16) being arranged axially on opposite sides of the connection region (12).
