ABSTRACT:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a planetary gear for mounting on an electromotor.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Such planetary gears are used for many purposes in automation technology and plant and machinery in general. With such a planetary gear, in which a sun gear can be driven by an output shaft of the electromotor, an annular gear is positioned in the housing and a planetary carrier forms the output, various transmission ratios, typically in the range 4:1 to 10:1, can be produced by varying the geometry of the sun gear and planetary gear wheels and of the planetary carrier.
Owing to the high power density involved, even small internal power losses can give rise to undesired high temperatures. Because of the compactness of the structure, the heat generated by these losses often cannot be dissipated to the desired extent. High temperatures affect service life adversely. A large part of the power loss is attributable to the seals and bearings of the rapidly rotating sun gear shaft on the input side.
A gear of this type is disclosed for example in DE 198 08 184 C1. To receive an output shaft of the electromotor, the sun gear shaft of this known planetary gear is made hollow in a receiving area of enlarged diameter. The sun gear shaft is sealed with respect to the housing by a radial sealing ring.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The purpose of the present invention is to develop further a planetary gear of the type described so as to minimise the power loss. Furthermore, the planetary gear should be of compact structure and economical to manufacture.
Thus, in accordance with the invention the sealing element that seals the sun gear shaft on the outside with respect to the housing is arranged axially
