Abstract:
A generator set comprises an engine including a crankshaft rotatable in a first direction about a longitudinal axis of the generator set, and a generator including a generator shaft. A gearbox is positioned between the engine and the generator, all mounted on a chassis. The gearbox couples the crankshaft to the generator shaft. The gearbox includes a gearbox housing having a first end and a second end. The first end is coupled to an engine first end and the second end is coupled to a generator first end. The gearbox also includes a gear set including a plurality of gears, a first gear shaft coupled to a crank shaft first end, and a second gear shaft coupled to a generator shaft first end. The crankshaft and at least a portion of the plurality of gears, and the generator shaft are axially aligned along the longitudinal axis of the generator set.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of coupling a crankshaft of an engine to a generator shaft of a generator, comprising:\n providing a gear box, the gearbox including a gearbox housing having a first end and a second end, and a gear set including a plurality of gears, a first gear shaft and a second gear shaft; coupling the first end of the gearbox housing to an engine first end of the engine; coupling the first gear shaft to a crankshaft first end of the crankshaft, at least a portion of the plurality of gears axially aligned with the crankshaft; coupling the second end of the gearbox housing to a generator first end of the generator; coupling the second gear shaft to a generator shaft; and positioning each of the engine, the generator and the gearbox on a skid frame, the engine, the gearbox and the generator rigidly coupled to the skid frame, wherein the coupling of the first gear shaft to the crankshaft and the second gear shaft to the generator shaft causes the crankshaft, at least a portion of the plurality of gears and the crankshaft to be axially aligned so that that the engine, the gearbox and the generator form a rigid torque tube structure.
