Planet carrier arrangement, vertical mill gearbox and vertical mill

A vertical mill gearbox, comprising:

• a casing;
• a bevel gear stage;
• and
• a planet carrier arrangement including a first planetary gear stage which is connected to the bevel gear stage and includes a planet carrier, said planet carrier arrangement comprising a bearing assembly including first and second roller bearings, and a traction element having a first end supported by the bearing assembly such as to enable the traction element to oscillate, said planet carrier mounted in a suspended manner to a second end of the traction element for attachment to the casing, wherein one of the roller bearings of the bearing assembly is configured to absorb an axial force seeking to lift the planet carrier.

A vertical mill, comprising:

• a grinding table;
• a vertical mill gearbox;
• and
• a drive motor connected to the vertical mill gearbox for driving the grinding table,
• said vertical mill gearbox comprising a casing, a bevel gear stage, and a planet carrier arrangement including a first planetary gear stage which is connected to the bevel gear stage and includes a planet carrier, said planet carrier arrangement comprising a bearing assembly including first and second roller bearings, and a traction element having a first end supported by the bearing assembly such as to enable the traction element to oscillate, said planet carrier mounted in a suspended manner to a second end of the traction element for attachment to the casing, wherein one of the roller bearings of the bearing assembly is configured to absorb an axial force seeking to lift the planet carrier.
