REDUCTION GEAR FOR TRANSMITTING LARGE AXIAL FORCE Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering. SUBSTANCE: reduction gear has housing with rotatable driving and driven links. The axes of the links do not intersect and cross one of the races of the thrust bearings arranged at the ends of the links. The reduction gear is also provided with the plate mounted inside the reduction gear housing. The other races of the thrust bearing of the driving and driven links are mounted at the opposite end faces of the plate. In particular, the rotation axes of the driving and driven links can be are parallel and the zone of its interaction is positioned on one side of their axes. The driving and driven links can be axially alined and separated with several additional intermediate links uniformly arranged over periphery. The additional link are rotatable with respect to the longitudinal axis of the housing. In addition, the reduction gear is provided with closing links enclosing the additional links from the free sides. The links are constructed as cylindric and/or conical rolls. The links can be made as cylindrical and/or conical gear wheels. EFFECT: improved design. 6 cl, 7 dwg
