A gearbox arrangement with an oil circuit, including at least one lubrication point incorporated in the oil circuit and at least one direction control valve with at least two switching positions and at least three ports, the at least three ports including a first port, a second port, and a third port. In a first switching position the first port and the third port are connected to each other in an oil-conducting manner and disconnected from the second port. In a second switching position, the first port and the second port are connected to each other in an oil-conducting manner and disconnected from the third port. The lubrication point and the second port are connected to each other in an oil-conducting manner. The lubrication point and the third port are not connected to each other in an oil-conducting manner.

Bypass for purging an oil circuit

An arrangement including a transmission and a generator is disclosed. The generator includes a generator rotor being non-rotatably connected to an output shaft of the transmission or configured to be connectable to the output shaft of the transmission. An assembly bearing that supports the generator rotor in the output shaft is also disclosed.

Rotational decoupling for assembly and disassembly of a gearbox-integrated mounted generator rotor

A unit includes a thrust washer having a first abutment and a second abutment. The thrust washer is configured to be moved, by rotation, between a first position in which the thrust washer abuts the first abutment and a second position in which the thrust washer abuts the second abutment. The first abutment and the second abutment are formed by at least one pin and at least one recess. The pin is configured to engage in the recesses, and the recess is designed as a groove that extends tangentially around an axis of rotation of a component that is rotatably mounted by way of the thrust washer.

Pivoting thrust washer

A corrosion inhibitor container configured to be screwed into a core hole of a gearbox housing via at least one external thread includes at least one chamber for holding a corrosion inhibitor, at least one gas-permeable wall separating the at least one chamber from an interior of the gearbox housing when the corrosion inhibitor container is screwed into the core hole, the at least one external thread, at least one internal thread, and a screw plug configured to be screwed into the internal thread. The screw plug is configured to be screwed into the core hole when the corrosion inhibitor container is not screwed into the core hole.
