A gearbox for a wind energy plant comprising:
- a gearbox housing;
- a rotor shaft mounted outside of the gearbox;
- and
- a satellite carrier arranged in the gearbox housing, the satellite carrier having an input side and an output side,
- wherein at the input side, the satellite carrier is connected to the rotor shaft and mounted in the gearbox housing without a bearing,
- wherein at the output side, the satellite carrier is mounted in the gearbox housing via a torque bearing arranged in the gearbox housing on the output side of the satellite carrier,
- wherein the torque bearing is capable of receiving all the moments and transversal forces acting between satellite carrier and gearbox housing.
