The invention is directed to a power transmission system including a noise isolation and control system. In an example, a bearing support member is arranged to support bearings which in turn support high speed conical rotors. The bearing support member itself is not rigidly fastened to the outer case of the mechanism. The bearing support member is not directly attached to the outer case, but is supported in the case by radially oriented attachment members which inhibit or do not transmit radial vibrations to the case. In this way, the vibration, or noise, produced by the high speed conical rotors and their bearings and driving gears, is effectively isolated from and not transmitted to the outer case. The invention also relates to a control system to provide for optimization of the power transmission system operation.
A power transmission apparatus comprising a housing, and conical rotors, with a big end and a small end, the conical rotors having a concentric shaft extending from the big end and supported by bearings, and
The power transmission apparatus of claim 18, wherein the retaining structures are radially oriented parallel with the vibrations emitted from the conical rotors.
A power transmission apparatus comprising a housing, and conical rotors, the conical rotors having a big end and a small end and a concentric shaft extending from the big end supported by bearings, and
A method of reducing noise associated with a power transmission apparatus comprising,
A transmission comprising a drive shaft, a friction disk nonrotatably mounted to said drive shaft, a shifter connected to said friction disk, said shifter moving said friction disk along said drive shaft, at least two cones engaging the periphery of said friction disk, an output shaft and a control system for providing predetermined operational sequences of the transmission by varying the position between the friction disk and cones to vary the output ratio of the transmission.
