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").

3. Differential (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_(mechanical...

   Planetary differential used to drive a chart recorder c. 1961. The motors drive the Sun and annular gears, while the output is taken from the planet gear carrier. This gives 3 different speeds depending on which motors are on. Non-automotive uses of differentials include performing analogue arithmetic. Two of the differential's three shafts are ...

4. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

   An electronic limited-slip differential will typically have a planetary or bevel gear set similar to that of an open differential and a clutch pack similar to that in a torque sensitive or gerotor pump based differential. In the electronic unit the clamping force on the clutch is controlled externally by a computer or other controller.

5. Hybrid vehicle drivetrain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_vehicle_drivetrain

   The Generation 4 HSD eliminates the second planetary gear set, and places the electric motors on parallel axes, with a combining gear in between these axes, and transfers the combined result to the final drive differential. This is quite similar to Toyota-affiliated Aisin Seiki's hybrid system, and saves significant space.

6. List of Subaru transmissions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Subaru_transmissions

   VTD adds a twin planetary center differential to the clutch and therefore has a static, starting torque split calculated on the planetary gear ratio, with the most common being 45:55. The active clutch operation is similar to the ACT system, although the clutch is used to suppress differential action instead of as the differential itself.

7. Sun and planet gear - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_and_planet_gear

   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.
