Abstract

A decoupling ring suitable for a planetary gear is disclosed. A decoupling ring includes an annular elastomeric base body and elastomeric formations. In embodiments, the elastomeric formations are uniformly spaced apart from one another, project in the radial direction from the base body, and run parallel to a central longitudinal axis passing centrally through the decoupling ring. With embodiments of the decoupling ring it is possible for the decoupling ring to be arranged on the circumferential side of a ring gear of a planetary gear.

Claims (25)

1. A decoupling ring for a planetary gear, comprising:

an annular elastomeric base body, and

elastomeric moldings which are uniformly spaced apart from one another, project in a radial direction from the elastomeric base body, and run parallel to a central longitudinal axis passing centrally through the decoupling ring;

wherein the elastomeric moldings include at least one press-fit surface to be press-fit against a component; on an inner circumference or outer circumference, a carrier ring is arranged on the elastomeric base body with the elastomeric moldings; and the carrier ring comprises carrier teeth; and edges of the elastomeric moldings are aligned with center portions of the carrier teeth.

2. The decoupling ring according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric moldings comprise two press-fit surfaces.

3. The decoupling ring according to claim 2 , wherein the component comprises a housing.

4. The decoupling ring according to claim 2 , wherein the component comprises a ring gear.

5. The decoupling ring according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one press-fit surface is disposed at an angle relative to a longitudinal center plane of the decoupling ring.

6. The decoupling ring according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomeric moldings and the carrier teeth are substantially trapezoid shaped.

7. The decoupling ring according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier ring is vulcanized.

8. The decoupling ring according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier ring comprises outer-circumferential-side or inner-circumferential-side core teeth and/or inner-circumferential-side or outer-circumferential-side carrier teeth.

9. The decoupling ring according to claim 8 , wherein a quantitative ratio of the number of core teeth to the number of carrier teeth is 1:2.

10. The decoupling ring according to claim 8 , wherein an extension line of a core tooth flank of each core tooth extends through a corresponding carrier tooth.

11. The decoupling ring according to claim 8 , wherein each core tooth forms a core of an elastomeric molding; and axial stop buffers are disposed on exterior surfaces of each of the core teeth.

12. An assembly for planetary gears, comprising a decoupling ring according to claim 1 and a ring gear of a planetary gear,

wherein the decoupling ring is arranged on a circumferential side of the ring gear and/or a gear housing, and the decoupling ring is arranged on an inner circumference of the gear housing.

13. A planetary gear comprising: a decoupling ring according to claim 1 , a ring gear, and a gear housing,

wherein the decoupling ring is arranged between the ring gear and the gear housing which surrounds the ring gear on an outer circumferential side.

14. The planetary gear according to claim 13 , wherein the number of moldings is an integer multiple of the number of planetary gears.

15. A decoupling ring for a planetary gear, comprising:

an annular elastomeric base body,

elastomeric moldings that are uniformly spaced apart from one another, project in a radial direction from the elastomeric base body, and run parallel to a central longitudinal axis passing centrally through the decoupling ring; and

a carrier ring arranged on the elastomeric base body;

wherein the decoupling ring is configured to be arranged on a circumferential side of a ring gear of said planetary gear; the elastomeric moldings include at least one press-fit surface to be press-fit against a component;

wherein an elastomer thickness above a core tooth tip surface is smaller than an elastomer thickness above a core tooth flank of the same core tooth.
