INTERLOCK SYSTEM FOR RING GEAR ON FLYWHEELS

摘要

A flywheel assembly for a prime mover includes a flywheel and a ring gear. The flywheel has a first plurality of apertures for receiving a first plurality of fasteners for fixing the flywheel to a prime mover, a first cylindrical ring portion including a first outer diameter, a second cylindrical ring portion at a first distal end of the first cylindrical ring portion and including a second outer diameter, larger than the first outer diameter, and a third cylindrical ring portion at a second distal end of the first cylindrical ring portion, opposite the first distal end, and including a third outer diameter, larger than the second outer diameter. The flywheel also has a first wall connecting the first distal end of the first cylindrical ring and a third distal end of the second cylindrical ring portion. The ring gear is engaged with the first cylindrical ring portion.
