Abstract

Gearbox with a universal self-centering system with variable geometry, having an input shaft (22) and an output shaft (19), characterized in that the universal self-centered system includes a medial foundation (1) with rollers or gears (3-5), an outer foundation (2) with rollers or gears (9-11) and a variable geometry of the outer foundation (2), wherein the geometric changes of the outer foundation (2) are realized by means of a displacement of rollers or gears (10, 11) of the outer foundation (2), wherein the rollers or gears (9-11, 3-5) attached to the foundations (1, 2) are connected to each other by a belt, rope or chain (15), wherein the movable rollers or gears (10, 11) on the outer base (2) are cushioned and movable with respect to a center of rotation of the outer base (2) under the effect of a load on the gearbox.
