Abstract

A gearing assembly for torque transmission may have an epicyclic gearing unit having two ring gears, each having a toothing with a different number of teeth. At least three planetary gears may roll in the two ring gears. One of the ring gears may be stationary and the other ring gear is designed to move. Two of the planetary gears may be bearing gears and a third planetary gear rolls in both ring gears as a force-transmitting gear.

Claims (12)

1. A gearing assembly for torque transmission, comprising

an epicyclic gearing unit having two ring gears, each having a toothing with a different number of teeth,

wherein at least three planetary gears roll in the two ring gears, wherein one of the ring gears is stationary and the other ring gear is designed to be movable and

wherein two of the planetary gears each have two rotatably divided gears, said two divided gears are partial bearing gears that are separate from one another and which are adapted to rotate independently in the two ring gears, and a third, single piece planetary gear that is adapted to rotate in the two ring gears as a force-transmitting gear.

2. The gearing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two bearing gears have toothings with the same number of teeth.

3. The gearing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the partial bearing gears of one of the bearing gears have toothings with an equal number of teeth.

4. The gearing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a drive wheel is provided at a drive side on one of the two ring gears, having three bolts at an end face in a direction of the ring gears to receive one each of the planetary gears.

5. The gearing assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a holding element is fitted on a free end of the bolts that carry the planetary gears.

6. The gearing assembly as claimed in claim 4 , wherein a bracket is arranged at an output side, carrying an output shaft which is coupled to the drive wheel.

7. The gearing assembly as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the bracket is held by webs in the ring gear at the output side.

8. The gearing assembly as claimed in claim 6 , wherein a pinion is arranged on the bracket at the output side.

9. The gearing assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said gearing assembly is part of a gear motor, wherein a drive unit is coupled thereto.
