Transmission Arrangement Such as for Energy and/or Signal Transmission

摘要

A transmission arrangement such as for energy and/or signal transmission, optionally for use in a machining center, respectively a turning and/or milling center, comprising a clamping unit comprising an outer housing of a preferably cylindrical basic shape, an inner housing received within the outer housing, as well as an inner cylinder held within the inner housing to be adjustable in an actuating direction A, said inner cylinder being configured to transmit a compressive or tensile force for clamping purposes, wherein the inner housing is supported against the outer housing via springs, and is displaceably mounted in the actuating direction A with respect to the outer housing and thus forms a spring force storage, wherein an electric motor is arranged integrated within the clamping unit to apply force in the actuating direction A to the inner cylinder via intermediate gear means, a console having a rotary table mounted therein to be rotatable, at least one first transmission device connected to the console and at least one second transmission device connected to the clamping unit, wherein the clamping unit is releasably fastened on the rotary table, and first and second transmission devices are configured to transmit electrical energy for driving the electric motor in a non-contact, preferably inductive manner between a first transmission device and a second transmission device.
