TRANSMISSION DEVICE

摘要

A transmission is provided including a splitter shaft having a concentric cavity defined in a distal end thereof and an outer wall surrounding the cavity. The outer wall has an increased thickness in order to reduce failure and fracturing in the outer wall area. A bearing hub adapted for supporting a larger bearing is also provided. The improved transmission may include a system for utilizing existing lubrication lines in order to lubricate a center section of the transmission. The components of the present invention may be provided as part of a kit for retrofitting an existing transmission in order to reduce failures and increase lifespan.

主权项

1. A transmission comprising:
a splitter shaft having a concentric cavity defined in a distal end thereof and an outer wall extending around said cavity, said outer wall having a radial thickness of about 0.65 inches; a main shaft having a concentric pilot member extending axially from a distal end thereof and extending into said cavity of said splitter shaft; and a bearing located radially between said pilot member and an inner surface of said outer wall, said inner surface delimiting a diameter of said cavity in a radial direction.
