ABSTRACT:
A transmission apparatus converts rotational motion into technically linear motion and can be used for vertically displacing wheels or tracks on an off-the-road vehicle. The transmission apparatus includes at least one stationarily mounted control disk with at least a circular arc section on its circumferential periphery and at least one eccentric disk connected to the control disk by a drive device. The eccentric disk has a circular circumferential periphery and an eccentric point from its center point. The eccentric disk is rotatably connected to one end of an elongated rocker arm. The other end of the rocker arm is pivotally connected to the control disk at a point on a straight line extending between the center of curvature of the circumferential periphery of the control disk and the disengaging point of the drive member from the circumferential periphery of the control disk in the neutral position of the eccentric disk. The combination of the control disk, eccentric disk and rocker arm can be repeated in forming the transmission apparatus. On the vehicle, the transmission apparatus is mounted on a central pin and the rocker arm can be displaced by a hydraulic cylinder.
