Transmission
A transmission, in particular a coaxial transmission or linear transmission, comprising a toothing, a tooth holder in which a plurality of tooth segments are accommodated to engage with the toothing, wherein the tooth segments are borne to be radially shiftable relative to the tooth holder, a drive element having a profiling for radially driving the tooth segments borne in a radially shiftable manner, wherein the transmission has inner initial stress.
1. A transmission, in particular, a coaxial transmission or a linear transmission, comprising:
a toothing;
a tooth holder in which a plurality of tooth segments are accommodated to engage with the toothing, wherein the tooth segments are borne to be radially shiftable relative to the tooth holder; and
a drive element having a profiling for radially driving the tooth segments borne in a radially shiftable manner,
wherein the transmission has inner initial stress,
wherein the tooth segments have an oversized length that is sufficient to cause the transmission to exist under the inner initial stress, when the tooth segments are accommodated in the transmission,
wherein the tooth segments are oversized by at least 0.001% of the diameter of the toothing.
2. A transmission comprising:
a toothing;
a tooth holder;
a plurality of tooth segments accommodated shiftably in the tooth holder to engage with the toothing; and
a drive element for driving the plurality of tooth segments into the toothing in a radial direction with respect to a rotational axis of the drive element,
wherein the plurality of tooth segments are dimensioned to cause clamping of at least one tooth segment between the drive element and the toothing, to achieve an inner initial stress,
wherein each tooth segment in the plurality of tooth segments has a front tooth flank, a rear tooth flank, and a tip separating the front and the rear flanks, and a first tooth segment and a second tooth segment of the plurality of tooth segments have a diameter that is greater than the diameter of the toothing to generate an inner initial stress within the transmission, and
wherein the first tooth segment driven into the toothing engages with a respective toothing flank of the toothing exclusively with its front tooth flank, the second tooth segment driven into the toothing engages with a respective toothing flank of the toothing exclusively with its rear tooth flank, and between the first tooth segment and the second tooth segment, there is one other tooth segment at a maximum radius of a contour of the drive element,
wherein neither of the tooth flanks of the other tooth segment engage with the toothing, and only the tip of the one other tooth segment impacts the toothing to create an inner initial stress within the transmission.
