Abstract

The invention relates to a device ( 4 ) for positioning meshing teeth ( 3, 8, 9 ) of a gear drive without any play, comprising a gear assembly ( 5 ), which gear assembly ( 5 ) comprises a main gear ( 6 ) having first teeth ( 8 ) and a gear ( 7 ) that is rotatable relative thereto in the circumferential direction having second teeth ( 9 ), and the main gear ( 6 ) comprises a hub part ( 10 ) on which the rotatable gear ( 7 ) is disposed, and a tolerance compensating element ( 12 ) comprising a shaft part ( 13 ) and a compensating part ( 14 ) is disposed radially underneath the main gear ( 6 ), and the compensating part ( 14 ) is connected to the shaft part ( 13 ) and to the hub part ( 10 ) of the main gear ( 6 ) so that the main gear ( 6 ) is connected exclusively via the compensating part ( 14 ) to the shaft part ( 13 ), and the compensating part ( 14 ) is made at least partially from a rubber elastic material.

Claims (21)

1. Device for positioning meshing teeth of a gear drive without any play, comprising a gear assembly, which gear assembly comprises a main gear having first teeth and a gear that is rotatable relative thereto in the circumferential direction having second teeth,

wherein the first teeth have a first teeth width in an axial direction, the second teeth have a second teeth width in the axial direction, and the first teeth width is greater than the second teeth width,

wherein the main gear comprises a hub part and the rotatable gear is disposed directly on the hub part,

wherein a tolerance compensating element comprising a shaft part and a compensating part is disposed radially underneath the main gear,

wherein the compensating part is connected to the shaft part and to the hub part of the main gear in a manner such that the main gear is connected exclusively via the compensating part to the shaft part,

wherein the shaft part of the tolerance compensating element is a part distinct from the main gear and from the rotatable gear,

wherein the compensating part is made from a rubber elastic material, and

wherein the compensating part extends in the axial direction at least across an entire width of the hub part of the main gear, of the main gear, or of the shaft part in the axial direction.

2. Device according to claim 1 , wherein the compensating part is connected to the shaft part and/or to the hub part via a positively bonded and/or positively fitting connection.

3. Spur gear drive comprising at least a first gear and a device for positioning meshing teeth meshing with the first gear without any play, and the first gear is non-split, wherein the no-play positioning device is as defined according to claim 1 .

4. Spur gear drive comprising at least a first gear and a device for positioning meshing teeth meshing with the first gear without any play, and the first gear is non-split, wherein the no-play positioning device is as defined according to claim 2 .

5. Device for positioning meshing teeth of a gear drive without any play, comprising a gear assembly, which gear assembly comprises a main gear having first teeth and a gear that is rotatable relative thereto in the circumferential direction having second teeth,

wherein the first teeth have a first teeth width in an axial direction, the second teeth have a second teeth width in the axial direction, and the first teeth width is greater than the second teeth width,

wherein the main gear comprises a hub part and the rotatable gear is disposed directly on the hub part,

wherein a tolerance compensating element comprising a shaft part and a compensating part is disposed radially underneath the main gear,

wherein the compensating part is connected to the shaft part and to the hub part of the main gear in a manner such that the main gear is connected exclusively via the compensating part to the shaft part,

wherein the shaft part of the tolerance compensating element is a part distinct from the main gear and from the rotatable gear,

wherein the compensating part is made from a rubber elastic material,

wherein the compensating part has a first width extending in the axial direction, and

wherein the first width is as large as or larger than a largest of a width of the hub part of the main gear, a width of the main gear, and a width of the shaft part in the axial direction.

6. Device according to claim 5 , wherein the first width is larger than the largest of a width of the hub part of the main gear, a width of the main gear, and a width of the shaft part in the axial direction.
