An internal spur gear drive has a mounting base including one or more sets of
motor mounting lugs extending therefrom, for attaching a corresponding number of
drive motors thereto. A drive shaft housing containing a rotary drive shaft extends
from the mounting base. A drive bell is affixed to the drive shaft distal end,
and rotates therewith. The opposite end of the drive bell has an internally toothed
ring gear extending therefrom. Each motor drives a pinion gear which engages the
internal teeth of the drive bell ring gear to rotate the drive bell and thus rotate
the drive shaft as well. The motor mounting lugs are slotted, allowing the motors
to be adjusted radially relative to the drive shaft and drive bell ring gear. This
provides adjustment for gear lash, as well as permitting different sizes of pinion
gears to be installed on the motors for different gear ratios.
