Abstract: Disclosed herein is a new improved large planetary gear system used on the input stage of wind turbine power generators. This improved planetary gear system reduces or eliminates lubricant debris traditionally generated from the gear teeth, thereby eliminating an initiating source for bearing failure. To achieve these results, some and preferably all of the gear teeth within the planetary gear system are superfinished using chemically accelerated vibratory finishing to a surface roughness of approximately 0.25 micron or less. Several objects and advantages of the invention are to provide a gearbox with reduced metal debris, improved bearing life, reduced wear, reduced vibro-frictional noise, improved contact fatigue, improved fretting resistance, improved lubrication, to simplify the run-in process, and to enhance the durability and efficiency of the gearbox.

Inventor: SUPPA VITO
IPC: B65H51/14
Filed: 2004-07-15
Granted: 2012-09-18
Abstract: The invention concerns a device for automatically hauling very long elongated objects (10) Said device enables in particular handling of very long tubular objects having a relatively flexible and fragile structure such as underwater cables, pipes or streamer-type linear sonar antennae. The device mainly comprises traction means consisting of at least two running belts (12) with rough surface which are urged to be pressed on both sides of the object and haul it in a tractive movement and gripping means (114, 116) which permanently maintain the running belts (12) pressed against the object so as to ensure a proper grip. The invention also concerns means for actuating coordinately the traction means and the gripping means, such that the object to de hauled is subjected to a constant traction throughout the hauling operation. The inventive device provides the advantage of being mounted on a fixed chassis (11) and therefore does not require an installation zone. It is particularly designed for buildings where there is restricted available space such as submarines.
