Abstract

An in-transit mixing machine drive ( 2 ) having an output bearing ( 8 ) for supporting an output shaft for rotation relative to a drive housing, in which the output shaft is arranged inclined relative to a horizontal plane ( 5 ) at an angle (α) and the output bearing ( 8 ) is formed by a pendulum roller bearing ( 9 ) whose rolling bodies ( 13, 14 ) roll in two bearing rows ( 10, 11 ) at pressure angles (β, γ) about a bearing axis ( 12 ). The pressure angles (β, γ) of the two bearing rows ( 10, 11 ) differ from each other or the rolling bodies ( 13, 14 ) of the two bearing rows ( 10, 11 ) differ from each other.

Claims (8)

1. An in-transit mixing machine drive, comprising an output bearing for supporting an output shaft for rotation relative to a drive housing, the output shaft is arranged inclined relative to a horizontal plane at an angle (α) and the output bearing is formed by a pendulum roller bearing having rolling bodies that roll in two bearing rows about a bearing axis, and pressure angles (β, γ) of the two bearing rows differ from each other or the rolling bodies of the two bearing rows differ from each other, wherein, for a difference (δ) of the pressure angles (β, γ) of the two bearing rows, the following relationship is applicable: 0.9·α<δ<1.1·α.

2. The in-transit mixing machine drive according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure angles (β, γ) of the two bearing rows intersect on the bearing axis.

3. The in-transit mixing machine drive according to claim 1 , wherein a pressure angle (β, γ) of a first bearing row is greater than 10 degrees and a pressure angle (β, γ) of a second bearing row is less than 10 degrees.

4. The in-transit mixing machine drive according to claim 1 , wherein a pressure angle (γ) of one of the two bearing rows equals 0 degrees.

5. The in-transit mixing machine drive according to claim 1 , wherein the pendulum roller bearing has at least one of a one-part outer ring or a one-part inner ring.

6. The in-transit mixing machine drive according to claim 5 , wherein an axial extent of the outer ring is greater than an axial extent of the inner ring.

7. The in-transit mixing machine drive according to claim 6 , wherein the outer ring projects past the inner ring in the axial direction on both sides.

8. An in-transit mixing machine drive, comprising an output bearing for supporting an output shaft for rotation relative to a drive housing, the output shaft is arranged inclined relative to a horizontal plane at an angle (α) and the output bearing is formed by a pendulum roller bearing having rolling bodies that roll in two bearing rows about a bearing axis, and pressure angles (β, γ) of the two bearing rows differ from each other or the rolling bodies of the two bearing rows differ from each other, wherein a number of the rolling bodies in the two bearing rows is different.
