Patent attributes
A transmission (1), preferably for a front axle of a floor transport vehicle (100), comprises at least one transmission stage, a drive sprocket (6), a hollow gear (4, 203), and a housing, wherein the drive sprocket (6) and the hollow gear (4, 203) each have a rotation axis, which axes are parallel and disposed offset from each other. A drive wheel (111) is connected in torque-proof fashion with the hollow gear and housing (4, 203) and the drive sprocket (6) is coupled to a drive motor (25). The motor is mounted to the transmission (1) through a flange. Assembly and disassembly of the transmission is simplified by the relatively few component parts of the transmission. Further, vehicle loads are efficiently transferred to the drive wheel by supporting the hollow gear (4, 203) rotatably upon a fixed support element (13) forming a section of the housing, wherein the support element (13) is disposed coaxial with the rotation axis of the hollow gear (4, 203).
