Abstract
A gear unit includes a housing, a trough for guiding oil and reducing losses due to splashing surrounding a circumferential section of a toothing part, particularly a gear wheel, especially in the radial and axial direction. The trough includes at least three parts, e.g., at least one bottom plate and two side walls, the bottom plate being screw-connected to the two side walls. The trough is fastened to the housing and includes an opening, particularly a channel, especially at its lowest surface area, e.g., particularly at the surface area having the greatest radial distance. In particular, during rotational movement of the gear wheel, oil is conveyed from the oil pan of the gear unit through the opening between the trough and gear wheel, especially to a position higher than the level of the oil pan. The bottom plate and the side walls are stamped bent parts.
