Getriebelagern
Getriebelagern, meaning gear bearings in German, are specialized bearings designed to support the rotating shafts within a gearbox. These bearings are crucial components that reduce friction and allow for smooth, efficient power transmission. They are engineered to withstand significant loads, including radial and axial forces, that are generated during the operation of gears. The primary function of a Getriebelager is to maintain the precise alignment of gear shafts, which is essential for optimal gear meshing and to prevent premature wear or damage to the gears themselves.
There are various types of Getriebelagern, each suited for different applications and load conditions. Common types
