Transmission, particularly compressor wheel gear and methods to improve the starting behavior of such

摘要

The invention concerns a transmission, in particular a compressor transmission, which is installed between a drive machine and a unit to be driven; fitted with a drive shaft and a driven shaft; wherein the drive shaft is in driving connection with the driven shaft for speed/torque conversion; the driven shaft is supported in the transmission by means of at least one primary axial bearing. The invention is characterised by the following features: a starting unit is provided for absorbing the axial loads of the driven shaft; the starting unit comprises a secondary axial bearing; the starting unit is formed in such a way that when said unit is actuated, the axial loads of the driven shaft are substantially completely absorbed by the secondary axial bearing.
