Abstract

Gearing (1), in particular coaxial gearing or linear gearing, having a toothing (5), a tooth carrier (11) in which there is received a multiplicity of teeth (7) for engagement with the toothing, wherein the teeth (7) are mounted so as to be radially displaceable relative to the tooth carrier (11), a cam disk (20) for the radial drive of the radially displaceably mounted teeth (7), wherein the cam disk (20) has two encircling rims, between which there is arranged a raceway, rolling bodies (23) which are arranged on the running surface between the rims, and a multiplicity of pivot segments (24) which are arranged in encircling fashion on the rolling bearing bodies and which lie in each case by way of a rolling bearing surface against the rolling bodies (23), wherein, on both sides of the rolling bearing surface, there is arranged in each case one rim bearing surface, wherein the two rim bearing surfaces lie at least partially against the rims.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. Gearing comprising
a toothing;
a tooth carrier in which there is received a multiplicity of teeth for engagement with the toothing, wherein the teeth are mounted so as to be radially displaceable relative to the tooth carrier;
a cam disk for the radial drive of the radially displaceably mounted teeth, wherein the cam disk has two encircling rims, between which there is arranged a raceway;
rolling bodies which are arranged on the running surface between the rims; and
a multiplicity of pivot segments which are arranged in encircling fashion on the rolling bearing bodies and which lie in each case by way of a rolling bearing surface against the rolling bodies, wherein, on both sides of the rolling bearing surface, there is arranged in each case one rim bearing surface, wherein the two rim bearing surfaces lie at least partially against the rims, wherein the pivot segments each have a segment edge which is at the front in a direction of rotation and a segment edge which is at the rear in the direction of rotation, wherein the segment edges each comprise projections which are formed in the direction of rotation and which protrude in relation to a central strip of the pivot segment.

2. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein the projections of the two segment edges of each pivot segment run parallel.

3. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion of the projections, in the region of the rim bearing surfaces, corresponds to at least 20% of the width of the central strip in the direction of rotation.

4. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein the protrusion of the projections, in the region of the rim bearing surfaces, amounts to at least 30% of the protrusion of the projections in the region of the rolling bearing surface.

5. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein the projections protrude, in the region of the rim bearing surfaces of in each case one pivot segment, in both directions of rotation in relation to the central strip.

6. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein, in the region of each of the two rim bearing surfaces of a pivot segment, projections are provided on both sides of the central strip.

7. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein the projections are, in the region of in each case one rim bearing surface, not formed over the entire width of the rim bearing surface.

8. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein run-in regions, comprising a bevel and/or a rounded set-back portion, are provided in each case on the projections on the side of the rolling bearing surface and/or in the region of the rolling bearing surface.

9. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein at least in each case two projections are provided on both segment edges in the region of the rolling bearing surface.

10. Gearing according to claim 1 , wherein the pivot segments each have tooth bearing surfaces which comprise a rounded surface section for in each case at least one tooth in order to realize an axis of rotation for a rotation of the tooth relative to the pivot segment, wherein the axis of rotation at least substantially coincides with the rolling bearing surface.
