Abstract

A generator unit for tractors ( 1 ) has a housing ( 4 ), which can be non-rotationally mounted on a component of the tractor ( 1 ). An input shaft is rotationally supported in the housing ( 4 ) and connectable to a power take-off shaft ( 2 ) of the tractor ( 1 ). An electrical generator ( 6 ) is coupled with the housing. The electrical generator ( 6 ) has a stator and a rotor, which is drive-wise connected to the input shaft and is driven by the same. The electrical generator ( 6 ) serves to driver electrical loads of the tractor 1 or of an agricultural device.

Claims (8)

1. A generator unit for tractors comprising:

a housing non-rotationally being connectable to a component of a tractor;

an input shaft being rotationally supported in the housing, said input shaft connectable to a power take-off shaft of the tractor;

an electrical generator including a stator and a rotor, said rotor is drive-wise connected to and driven by the input shaft, said electrical generator coupled with the housing; and

the electrical generator driving electrical loads of the tractor or of an agricultural device; an output shaft being drive-wise connected to the input shaft and connectable to the drive shaft of an agricultural device.

2. The generator according to claim 1 , wherein the input shaft and the output shaft are formed as a unified component.

3. The generator according to claim 1 , wherein the output shaft has an end which can be connected to an agricultural device, which has a profile same as the power take-off shaft of the tractor.

4. The generator unit according to claim 1 , wherein a gear is provided between the input shaft and the rotor of the electrical generator.
