Planetary Gear, Animation
Planetary gear, animationFunction
In order to obtain different gear ratios, the components in the planetary gears such as the sun wheel, planet gear, ring gear and planet carrier are locked and released respectively. The friction elements used in this connection are of disc type except brake B4, which is band type. Since there are four different planetary gears, it is possible to obtain a number of different gear ratios.
Planetary gear
1 = S = Sun gear
2 = P = Planet gear
3 = R = Ring gear
Pay attention to the rotational direction of the gear.
