Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004088167
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A modular gear system (30) for transmitting power from a motor (32) to a device (34) such as a pump which requires power to operate. The system includes a gearbox (40) and first and second planetary gearset assemblies (42,44) connectable between an output shaft (36) of the motor and a drive shaft (38) of the pump. The system may be configured as either a single-stage mode wherein the first gearset assembly (42) is received in the gearbox (40) to produce a rotational speed adjustment between the shafts, or a multi-stage mode wherein both the first and second gearset assemblies (42,44) are received in the gearbox (40) and are connected in series to produce a different rotational speed adjustment. The system provides flexibility for different speed and power requirements and is adaptable to a variety of motors.
