NON-ROTARY CONNECTION OF AN AXIALLY MOVABLE PLANET CARRIER WITH A TRUNNION, IN PARTICULAR THE MOUNTING TRUNNION OF A HYDROSTATIC VEHICLE TRANSMISSION

摘要

An internal spline of a hollow shaft containing a hydrostatic motor receives an external spline of a sleeve extending from a planetary carrier being part of a two-stage planetary gear transmission for imparting rotation on a hub being journalled on the shaft. An annular disk with radially inwardly directed teeth has been slipped onto the external spline, with play between it and the carrier; after turning the disk to align its teeth with the external spline ridges, it is releasably secured to the shaft end after the latter's internal spline has received the external spline. The disk permits relative axial movement of the carrier bounded by it and by the external spline.
