Abstract

A coaxial transmission, especially a hollow shaft drive, comprising a driving element ( 7 ) and a driven element ( 3 ), a plurality of radially mobile toothed quadrants ( 5 ) providing a gear ratio and transmitting a driving torque between the driving element ( 7 ) and the driven element ( 3 ). An internal gear ( 1 ) or especially the housing for receiving the inner gearing of the internal gear ( 13 ) are configured as a multipart structure.

Claims (10)

1. A coaxial transmission comprising a driving element and a driven element, a plurality of radially movable toothed quadrants providing a step-up and transfer of a drive torque between the driving element and driven element, wherein the driving element is a hollow shaft into which a prestage is inserted.

2. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the prestage is inserted as a planetary prestage into the driving element.

3. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the prestage is a planetary prestage comprising individual planets meshing with an internal toothing of the driving element.

4. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the individual planets are mounted in a planet wheel carrier which is arranged in the driven element.

5. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the planets mesh with a common sun wheel which can be driven via a drive shaft mounted in a bearing casing.

6. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the bearing casing for receiving the drive shaft is connected axially to a first casing part.

7. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the planetary prestage with sun wheel, planets, planet wheel carrier and drive shaft for the sun wheel is inserted coaxially inside the driving element.

8. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driving element is inserted coaxially inside the driven element and has at least one external profiling which, during rotational movement, moves the toothed quadrants toward a ring-wheel internal toothing, there being provided axially in each case next to the profiling a drive bearing which is supported on the inside with respect to the driven element.

9. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the driven element is supported via end-face driven bearings and is mounted with respect to casing parts via bearing receptacles.

10. The coaxial transmission as claimed in claim 9 , wherein a bearing seat is formed in each case on both sides next to the profiling for axial mounting of the driving element with respect to the driven element.
