Abstract:
A rotary transmission leadthrough is part of a tire pressure control system for a tire of a vehicle, the tire having a hub mounted in a rotatable manner on an axle, the rotary leadthrough having a stator unit mounted on the axle of the tire in such a manner that its position in the axial direction is adjustable relative to the axle. The stator unit has a disc like end member and a bearing member extending in the axial direction from the end member with a bearing surface on its outer radial surface, the end member projecting outwards in a radial direction from the bearing surface. The bearing member retains an inner bearing shell of a rolling bearing carrying the hub. A connector is mounted on the end member connected to an air supply of the tire pressure control system, and an air conduit connecting the connector with an air passage extending in the axial direction under the bearing surface. An opening in the bearing surface connects to the air passage with an air chamber arranged radially to the outside of the bearing surface. A rotor unit connects to the hub in a torque fit manner, and the rotary unit is arranged radially outside to the bearing member of the stator unit and has a connector in a radial outside position connected to the tire valve of a tire mounted on the hub. An air conduit connecting the connector with the air chamber is arranged between the rotary unit and the bearing member; and a sealing unit is arranged between the bearing surface of the stator unit and the rotary unit having at least two sealing rings held in place and arranged with a spacing between them in the axial direction, the spacing defining the air chamber.
