Planetary gearbox

Abstract

The invention relates to a planetary gearbox comprising a drive shaft (1) and a driven shaft (2), which are mounted in a gearbox housing, and at least one first (4) and second (5) planetary stage. Furthermore, a single-piece gearbox housing casing (3) is provided, which encloses the first (4) and second (5) planetary stage and is closed at the end face via a housing cover (7). At least one separating wall (6) is arranged in the interior of the gearbox housing, said separating wall dividing the interior into two subchambers. Each subchamber accommodates a planetary stage. The planetary stages (4, 5) are connected to each other by a shaft that is guided through an opening in the separating wall. Ring gears (14, 24) of the planetary stages are fixed at the end face to the separating wall (6). This allows the use of a material for the ring gears (14, 24), which differs from that of the gearbox housing casing (3) or the separating wall (6), so that no high-grade material has to be used for components, the function of which does not require so.
