Abstract
A mounting system may include one or more mounting structures. The mounting structures may include one or more arms, wherein each of the one or more arms radiate from a common body. The mounting structures may include one or more flanges, wherein each of the one or more flanges are integrated into one of the one or more arms, each flange including one or more wet brake mounts. The mounting structures may include one or more drive unit mounts, wherein each of the one or more arms includes one of the one or more drive unit mounts, wherein each of the one or more drive unit mounts are located on a distal end of a corresponding one or more arms. The mounting structures may include one or more chassis mounts, wherein the one or more chassis mounts are located on the common body.
Claims20
A mounting system comprising:
- one or more mounting structures, each of the one or more mounting structures comprising:
- one or more arms, wherein each of the one or more arms radiate from a common body;
- one or more flanges, wherein each of the one or more flanges are integrated into one of the one or more arms, wherein each of the one or more flanges comprises one or more wet brake mounts;
- one or more drive unit mounts, wherein each of the one or more arms includes one of the one or more drive unit mounts, wherein each of the one or more drive unit mounts are located on a distal end of a corresponding one or more arms;
- and
- one or more chassis mounts, wherein the one or more chassis mounts are located on the common body.
A wet brake assembly comprising:
- a mounting system, wherein the mounting system comprises:
- one or more mounting structures, each of the one or more mounting structures comprising:
- one or more arms, wherein each of the one or more arms radiate from a common body;
- one or more flanges, wherein each of the one or more flanges are integrated into one of the one or more arms, wherein each of the one or more flanges comprises one or more wet brake mounts;
- one or more drive unit mounts, wherein each of the one or more arms includes one of the one or more drive unit mounts, wherein each of the one or more drive unit mounts are located on a distal end of a corresponding one or more arms;
- and
- one or more chassis mounts, wherein the one or more chassis mounts are located on the common body;
- and
- a wet brake, wherein the wet brake comprises:
- one or more wet brake flanges, wherein the one or more wet brake flanges comprise:
- one or more wet brake flange mounts, wherein the one or more flanges of the mounting system and the one or more wet brake flanges of the wet brake are aligned such that the mounting system and the wet brake are coupled by the one or more wet brake mounts and the one or more wet brake flange mounts.
A drive assembly comprising:
- a mounting system, wherein the mounting system comprises:
- one or more mounting structures, each of the one or more mounting structures comprising:
- one or more arms, wherein each of the one or more arms radiate from a common body;
- one or more flanges, wherein each of the one or more flanges are integrated into one of the one or more arms, wherein each of the one or more flanges comprises one or more wet brake mounts;
- one or more drive unit mounts, wherein each of the one or more arms includes one of the one or more drive unit mounts, wherein each of the one or more drive unit mounts are located on a distal end of a corresponding one or more arms;
- and
- one or more chassis mounts, wherein the one or more chassis mounts are located on the common body;
- a wet brake, wherein the wet brake comprises:
- one or more wet brake flanges, wherein the one or more wet brake flanges comprise:
- one or more wet brake flange mounts, wherein the one or more flanges of the mounting system and the one or more wet brake flanges of the wet brake are configured to align such that the mounting system and the wet brake may be coupled by the one or more wet brake mounts and the one or more wet brake flange mounts;
- and
- a drive unit, wherein the mounting system is coupled to the drive unit by the one or more drive unit mounts, wherein a torque generated by the wet brake is directed to the one or more chassis mounts and away from the one or more drive unit mounts.
