A series of planetary gearboxes includes a plurality of subseries of planetary gearboxes. Each of the plurality of subseries includes a planetary gear carrier of a planetary stage, at least two rolling bearings, and a planetary gear mounted on the at least two rolling bearings. The at least two rolling bearings in a first one of the first plurality of subseries have a first bearing width and in a second one of the first plurality of subseries having a second bearing width.

Series of planetary gearboxes, wind turbine, industrial application, and use of rolling bearings

A planetary transmission includes at least two planetary stages. A sun shaft of a planetary stage of the at least two planetary stages is connected for transmission of torque via a coupling toothing system to a planetary carrier of a second transmission stage of the at least two planetary stages that follows the first transmission stage. The coupling toothing system is a flat notch toothing system. A drive train of a wind power plant, in which a corresponding planetary transmission is used as transmission, is also provided. A wind power plant that is equipped with a corresponding drive train is provided. An industrial application that has a corresponding planetary transmission as transmission is also provided.

Planetary transmission

A gear train includes a housing, a shaft arranged in the housing, a gear wheel arranged on a first shaft shoulder, and first and second axial locks arranged on opposite sides of the gear wheel to axially secure the gear wheel. The second axial lock is attached to a second shaft shoulder having a diameter which is smaller than a diameter of the first shaft shoulder. A radial-axial sliding-contact bearing unit mounts the shaft in the housing and is attached to a third shaft shoulder disposed adjacent to the second shaft shoulder and defined by a diameter which is smaller than the diameter of the second shaft shoulder. A component attached to the shaft has a sliding surface for an axial sliding-contact bearing of the radial-axial sliding-contact bearing unit, with the second axial lock defining a running surface for the axial sliding-contact bearing of the radial-axial sliding-contact bearing unit.
