Abstract

A gearing arrangement for a vertical mill includes a central shaft mounted for rotation about a vertical rotation axis, a spur gear arranged in fixed rotative engagement on the central shaft, and an output flange rotatably coupled to the central shaft. At least one gear unit having gear pairs is arranged vertically below the output flange, with a pinion gear arranged on an output side of the gear unit for engagement into the spur gear on the central shaft. The gear unit is arranged on a traversing mechanism in such a way that the pinion gear on the output side is movable in relation to the spur gear to engage in and disengage from the spur gear, as the gear unit is moved by the traversing mechanism.
