Traction drive for forging manipulators

摘要

A forging manipulator has a traction drive with toothed wheels meshing with racks. The toothed wheels are coaxial with rail wheels supporting the manipulator and are mounted as close as possible to output shaft bearings of the drive which bearings are journalled in bearings in the chassis. Torque reaction is absorbed by members articulated to the drive transmission casing and directly or indirectly to the chassis side members.
