Torque support arrangement

In a torque support arrangement for a gear, in particular for a converter drive, mounted so as to be movable about a pivot axis, and of the type including a base, a gear casing, and elastic supporting means provided for supporting said gear casing against said base on both sides of the pivot axis, the improvement which is characterized in that:

• said elastic supporting means are designed as pressure-medium piston-cylinder means to which pressure gas is admitted, said pressure-medium piston-cylinder means include a piston and a first cylinder admittable with said pressure gas, said piston being designed as a double-acting floating piston, said double-acting floating piston having a first end and a second end, said first end being arranged in said first cylinder;
• and
• adjustment means are provided for adjusting the position of said pressure-medium piston-cylinder means relative to said base, said adjustment means being designed as a second cylinder admittable with an amount of hydraulic liquid, said second end of said piston being guided in said second cylinder, said double-acting floating piston being displaceable relative to said base by changing the amount of hydraulic liquid in said second cylinder.
