Abstract
A bearing arrangement of a helical spur gear which is non-rotatably arranged on a transmission shaft includes two conical sliding bearings configured for support of the transmission shaft. Each of the sliding bearings defines a cone angle, with the cone angle of one of the sliding bearings being different than the cone angle of the other one of the sliding bearings.
Claims17
A bearing arrangement of a helical spur gear which is non-rotatably arranged on a transmission shaft, said bearing arrangement comprising two conical sliding bearings configured for support of the transmission shaft, each said sliding bearing defining a cone angle with the cone angle of one of the sliding bearings being different than the cone angle of the other one of the sliding bearings, wherein at least one of the sliding bearings comprises an inner bearing sleeve and an outer bearing sleeve with a lubrication gap formed therebetween, said inner bearing sleeve being arranged on the transmission shaft and having a radially outer circumferential face configured to form a cone-shaped sliding face, said outer bearing sleeve being configured to complement a configuration of the inner bearing sleeve.
A transmission comprising
- a transmission shaft;
- a helical spur gear non-rotatably arranged on the transmission shaft;
- and
- a bearing arrangement comprising two conical sliding bearings configured for support of the transmission shaft, each said sliding bearing defining a cone angle, with the cone angle of one of the sliding bearings being different than the cone angle of the other one of the sliding bearings, wherein at least one of the sliding bearings comprises an inner bearing sleeve and an outer bearing sleeve with a lubrication gap formed therebetween, said inner bearing sleeve being arranged on the transmission shaft and having a radially outer circumferential face configured to form a cone-shaped sliding face, said outer bearing sleeve being configured to complement a configuration of the inner bearing sleeve.
