The driven member includes a shaft that is parallel to and spaced from the output shaft, and an endless positive drive, in the form of an endless cogged timing belt or a pair of double-ended metal chain sections joined end-to-end by adjustable length connectors, is provided to transmit torque from the output shaft of the motor and the shaft of the driven member. A lubricating oil circulating system is provided to circulate pressurized cooling oil successively through enclosed bearings that are provided to rotatably support the output shaft of the motor and the shaft of the driven member. |
