  2. Epicyclic gearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicyclic_gearing

    This planetary gear train consists of a sun gear (yellow), planet gears (blue) and carrier (green) inside a ring gear (red) An epicyclic gear train (also known as a planetary gearset) is a gear reduction assembly consisting of two gears mounted so that the center of one gear (the "planet") revolves around the center of the other (the "sun").

    The Whitbread Engine of 1785. The sun and planet gear is a method of converting reciprocating motion to rotary motion and was used in the first rotative beam engines.. It was invented by the Scottish engineer William Murdoch, an employee of Boulton and Watt, but was patented by James Watt in October 1781.

    The Ravigneaux gearset is a double planetary gear set, invented by Pol Ravigneaux, who filed a patent application on July 28, 1949, in Neuilly-sur-Seine France. [1] This planetary gear set, commonly used in automatic transmissions, is constructed from two gear pairs, ring–planet and planetplanet. The gearset provides four forward gear ...

  6. Simpson planetary gearset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson_planetary_gearset

    The Simpson planetary gearset is a compound planetary gear train consisting of two planetary gearsets sharing a common sun gear. A Simpson gearset delivers three forward gears and one reverse, plus neutral, and is commonly employed in three and four ratio automatic transmissions . [ 1 ]

  7. Cycloidal drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloidal_drive

    The cycloidal disc will independently rotate around the bearing as it is pushed against the ring gear. This is similar to planetary gearing. The direction of rotation of the disc and output is opposite to that of the input shaft. The number of pins on the ring gear is larger than the number of pins on the cycloidal disc.

  8. Reduction drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduction_drive

    A planetary reduction drive is a small scale version using ball bearings in an epicyclic arrangement instead of toothed gears. Reduction drives are used in engines of all kinds to increase the amount of torque per revolution of a shaft: the gearbox of any car is a ubiquitous example of a reduction drive.

    Later he is assigned the title of "Captain Earth", the leader of the Midsummer's Knights. Daichi is uncomfortable with his new title and the responsibilities that come from being a "Captain" like his father. The Planetary Gears refer to Daichi as a "Neoteny." Daichi wears a white and red flight suit on missions, matching the Earth Engine's ...
