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 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 planet–planet. The gearset provides four forward gear ...

Simpson Planetary Gearset Schematic Diagram. The two planetaries are interdependent via two permanent connections, that commonly but not necessarily have the same gears and gear ratios, both gearsets share a common sun gear. The planet carrier of the first gearset ("first" means closer to the input shaft) is in synchrony with the second gearset ...

Notice that the sun and flywheel rotate twice for every circuit of the planet when they have a 1:1 ratio of teeth. The sun and planet gear converted the vertical motion of a beam, driven by a steam engine, into circular motion using a 'planet', a cogwheel fixed at the end of the connecting rod (connected to the beam) of the engine. With the ...
A single set of helical teeth will produce a thrust parallel to the axle of the gear (known as axial thrust) due to the angular nature of the teeth. By adding a second set opposed to the first set, the axial thrust created by both sets cancels each other out. [3] When installing reduction gears on ships the alignment of the gear is critical.
