Abstract:
A drive unit having a housing, a motor and a planetary gear coaxial with the motor. The planetary gear is located within the housing downstream of the motor and is operatively connected to the motor. A final output drive shaft having a longitudinal passage is rotationally mounted in the housing coaxial with the motor and the planetary gear. The motor is non-rotationally mounted inside of the longitudinal passage in the final output drive shaft to decrease the radial dimension of the drive unit.
Abstract:
A motor vehicle integral speed reduction and wheel mounting unit having a driven rotatable axle pivot member with axially spaced annular bearings mounted on the outer surface. An annular fixed axle housing has an inner surface mounted on the bearings. A ring gear is formed on the axial portion of the inner surface of the axle housing located between the bearings. Intermediate shafts are rotatably mounted in the axle pivot member and a gear is fixed on each intermediate shaft. Each gear is located partially within a radial recess formed in the axle pivot member. One end of each intermediate shaft extends out of the axle pivot member and is connected to a drive shaft by a planet gear fixed on the end of the intermediate shaft.
Abstract:
A drive for selectively driving a wheel hub which includes a motor with a hollow output shaft driving a planetary gear train with a sun wheel on the hollow output shaft. An output element is fixed to a portion of the wheel hub and a multi-plate clutch or brake selectively connects and disconnects the wheel hub and the hollow output shaft. An axially movable rod operates the clutch or brake and pressurized hydraulic fluid and a spring shift the rod axially to connect and disconnect the clutch or brake to control rotation of the wheel hub by the motor.
Abstract:
A hydrostatic assembly including a primary pump formed by a swash plate type axial piston engine and at least one coaxial secondary pump formed by a swash plate type axial piston engine. An elongated input shaft extends through the primary pump and is non-rotatably connected to the cylindrical drum of the primary pump. A control base is axially aligned with the cylindrical drum of the primary pump and forms a control surface opposite the closed end of the cylindrical drum of the primary pump. A recess is formed in the control base and the secondary pump is at least partially located in the recess and is non-rotatably connected to the elongated input shaft so that the secondary pump drives the primary pump.
Abstract:
An adjustable axial piston machine is disclosed which has a housing, a cylinder drum and an operating cylinder-servo piston unit capable of being acted upon by control pressure. The cylinder-servo piston unit has a movable part which is being connected with a control of the axial piston machine. The operating cylinder-servo piston unit has an annular configuration and is located around the cylindrical drum.
Abstract:
An axial piston pump is provided having a cylinder drum, the end face of which lies against a control bottom pickup element, in which an approximately semi-circular suction channel and an approximately semi-circular pressure channel are located, where each of these two channels extend in the control bottom pickup element to a connection opening, in which case a device for trapping impurities, preferably a sieve, is installed in the suction channel inside of the control bottom pickup element.
Abstract:
A regulating device for a hydrostatic drive unit such as a hydropiston pump is provided with an adjusting piston designed as a differential piston, connected with the final control element of the drive unit and/or the pump and under pressure from both sides, and with a control valve controlling the pressure exerted on the adjusting piston in the pressure spaces in front of the end faces and with a control pressure gauge piston arranged in a sliding manner in the housing and on which the working pressure of the drive unit and/or feed pressure of the pump is exerted, and which lies against a lever, which is connected through a flexible coupling with the adjusting piston and is supported on this latter and is forced against it by a spring and actuates the control valve, in which case the control valve is located in the adjusting piston crosswise to its longitudinal axis, characterized in that the lever is designed as an angle lever and that the spring is located in the adjusting piston and lies against the section of the angle lever extending approximately crosswise to the longitudinal axis of the adjusting piston and is designed as a pressure spring, whose longitudinal axis runs parallel to that of the adjusting piston.
Abstract:
The drive flange of an axial-piston machine, which lies in a plane inclined to the axis of the rotatable cylinder drum and is connected to the input or output shaft, is journaled in the housing of the machine in bearings. All of the bearings which take up forces applied to the drive flange are arranged to act directly upon the latter and these bearings include axially effective or thrust bearings. The thrust bearing arrangement includes at least two oppositely directed thrust bearings engaging at least a part of the drive flange between them.
