Abstract
A drive train for a steerable drive wheel of a vehicle includes a spur gear stage and a bevel gear stage in a drive train housing which is supported for pivotal movement about a vertical axis. The drive wheel is driven through a horizontal axis from a vertically arranged motor. The housing is divided so that the axle-base change of the spur gear stage which is necessary when changing the drive wheel width requires different parts only for the part of the drive train housing which surrounds the spur gears. The remaining part of the drive train housing, which contains the bevel gear stage, is always the same. A slewing ring can be integral with the housing part which surrounds the spur gears. Furthermore, an opening for supplying or discharging air to or from the motor chamber can be provided.
