Abstract

Transmission, in particular for converting a rotational movement around the longitudinal axis of the transmission into a linear movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis or vice versa, having a rod having a gearing, a gear tooth carrier, in which gear teeth are accommodated so they are radially movable for an engagement with the gearing, the rod and the gear tooth carrier being mounted rotationally fixed relative to one another.

Claims (15)

1. A transmission for converting a rotational movement around a longitudinal axis of the transmission into a linear movement in the direction of the longitudinal axis or vice versa, having

a rod having a gearing,

a gear tooth carrier, in which gear teeth for an engagement with the gearing are accommodated so they are radially movable,

wherein the rod and the gear tooth carrier are mounted so they are rotationally fixed relative to one another and linearly displaceable relative to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and having

a cam disc mounted rotatably around the longitudinal axis of the transmission for radially driving the gear teeth,

wherein the rod is disposed inside the gear tooth carrier, and

wherein the cam disc is designed as a cam disc with an internal cam profile.

2. The transmission according to claim 1 , characterized by a drive device for radially driving the gear teeth.

3. The transmission according to claim 1 , characterized in that the cam disc drives the gear teeth and the gearing is implemented in such a manner that during a rotation of the cam disc, the rod is linearly displaced in relation to the gear tooth carrier.

4. The transmission according to claim 1 , characterized in that a pitch is provided between the gearing of the rod and the gear teeth disposed in the gear tooth carrier.

5. The transmission according to claim 1 , characterized in that the gear teeth are disposed pivoted around a radial direction in relation to the longitudinal axis.

6. The transmission according to claim 1 , characterized in that the gearing of the rod is designed as faceted.

7. A drive having a transmission according to claim 1 having a motor which drives the cam disc.

8. A use of a linear transmission according to claim 1 for converting a rotational movement into a linear movement.

9. The use according to claim 8 , characterized in that the gear tooth carrier and the rod each form a linear output element or a counter bearing.
