Two-gang gear mechanism especially for ships' drives includes a second clutch to connect two input members together or one input member to output member when first clutch is open

摘要

The gear mechanism (6) includes a power branch between the drive shaft (2) and the second input member (14) with spur wheel gear stages and clutches. The second clutch (32) is used to couple the two input members (14,16) together or one of the two input members to the output member (12) when the first clutch (30) is open. A planetary gearing (8) is provided with several planetary wheels (10). The second shift clutch (32) is mounted drive-wise between the hollow wheel (16) and the sun wheel (14) of the planetary gearing.
