Abstract

A support apparatus for a first gearing and a second gearing or for a drive includes first and second support flanges, a first support mounted to the first support flange and destined to introduce a first supporting force into the second support flange, and a second support mounted on the second support flange and destined to introduce a second supporting force into the first support flange, wherein the first support is sized to extend through the second support.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A support apparatus for a first gearing and a second gearing or for a drive, said support apparatus comprising:
a first support flange; and
a second support flange;
a first support mounted to the first support flange and configured to introduce a first supporting force into the second support flange; and
a second support mounted on the second support flange and configured to introduce a second supporting force into the first support flange,
wherein the first support is sized to extend through the second support.

2. The support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first support is single-armed and the second support is double-armed.

3. The support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first support and the second support are separated from one another by intersection in two sections.

4. The support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first support comprises a support arm, which is mounted in a flange main plane of the first support flange.

5. The support apparatus of claim 4 , further comprising a strut mounted to an end of the support arm and configured to introduce a tensile force and/or compressive force.

6. The support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second support comprises two support arms, which are mounted on oppositely-facing end faces of the second support flange.

7. The support apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a strut having one end mounted to one end of the first support and another end mounted to one end of the second support for bending-moment-free introduction, relative to a flange main plane, of a tensile force or compressive force into the first or second support flange.

8. The support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one member selected from the group consisting of the first support and the second support is equipped with an attachment bearing.

9. The support apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the attachment bearing is formed on the member.

10. The support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first support flange and the second support flange has at least one section which is radially shortened so as to reduce a main axis distance between the first and second gearings.

11. The support apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first support flange and the second support flange is configured to form a housing component of the first or second gearing.

12. An industrial application, comprising:
a first gearing rotating in one direction;
a first drive shaft disposed in driving relationship to the first gearing to enable supply of driving power to the first gearing;
a second gearing rotating in another direction which is opposite to the one direction;
a second drive shaft disposed in driving relationship to the second gearing to enable supply of driving power to the second gearing; and
a support apparatus configured for attachment of the first and second gearings, said support apparatus comprising a first support flange and a second support flange, a first support mounted to the first support flange and configured to introduce a first supporting force into the second support flange, and a second support mounted on the second support flange and configured to introduce a second supporting force into the first support flange, wherein the first support is sized to extend through the second support.

13. The industrial application of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first and second gearing is embodied as a planetary gearing.

14. The industrial application of claim 12 , wherein the first support comprises a support arm, which is mounted in a flange main plane of the first support flange.

15. The industrial application of claim 12 , wherein the second support comprises two support arms, which are mounted on oppositely-facing end faces of the second support flange.

16. The industrial application of claim 15 , further comprising a strut mounted to an end of the support arm and configured to introduce a tensile force and/or compressive force.

17. The industrial application of claim 12 , further comprising a strut having one end mounted to one end of the first support and another end mounted to one end of the second support for bending-moment-free introduction, relative to a flange main plane, of a tensile force or compressive force into the first or second support flange.

18. The industrial application of claim 12 , wherein at least one member selected from the group consisting of the first support and the second support is equipped with an attachment bearing.

19. The industrial application of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first support flange and the second support flange has at least one section which is radially shortened so as to reduce a main axis distance between the first and second gearings.

20. The industrial application of claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first support flange and the second support flange is configured to form a housing component of the first or second gearing.
