Abstract
A modular unit for mounting in a mill, which unit has a housing containing a pinion fixed to a shaft with a drive gear extending from the housing. The housing partially encircles the periphery of the pinion and has an upper member for mounting a thrust bearing on one end of the shaft and a lower capsule plate element mounting another bearing opposite the thrust bearing, which plate is snugly received in an aperture in the mill through which the drive gear passes. The modular unit is secured to the mill along at least two planes in a manner to completely enclose the pinion and gear and to permit disassembly thereof through axial and radial movements of the unit relative to the axis of the shaft.
