Abstract
A transmission has a transmission housing. The transmission housing has a first opening formed in a first wall and a second opening formed in a second wall. The transmission includes a shaft that is mounted rotatably on the transmission housing via bearing devices arranged in the first opening and the second opening. The transmission includes respective covers, by which the first opening and the second opening are closed. In addition, the transmission includes screw elements, by which the covers are held on the transmission housing. A coupling element, to which the screw elements are screwed in order to hold the covers on the transmission housing, is provided. As a result of this, the first wall and the second wall are pretensioned in an axial direction of the shaft.
Claims13
A transmission comprising:
- a transmission housing that has a first opening formed in a first wall of the transmission housing and a second opening that is formed in a second wall of the transmission housing, the second wall being opposite the first wall and the second opening being opposite the first opening;
- at least one shaft that is mounted rotatably on the transmission housing via a first bearing device arranged in the first opening and via a second bearing device arranged in the second opening;
- a first cover, by which the first opening is closed;
- a second cover, by which the second opening is closed;
- a first screw element, by which the first cover is held on the transmission housing;
- a second screw element, by which the second cover is held on the transmission housing;
- and
- a coupling element, to which the first screw element and the second screw element are screwed, such that the first cover and the second cover are held on the transmission housing,
- wherein the first wall and the second wall are pretensioned in an axial direction of the at least one shaft as a result of the first screw element and the second screw element being screwed to the coupling element, such that the first cover and the second cover are held on the transmission housing, and
- wherein the coupling element is arranged outside the at least one shaft and next to the at least one shaft in a radial direction of the at least one shaft.
