  2. Torque multiplier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque_multiplier

    The outside casing of the multiplier is also engaged with the planet gear teeth, but is prevented from rotating by means of a reaction arm, causing the planet gears to orbit around the sun gear. The planet gears are held in a ‘planet carrier' which also holds the output drive shaft. As the planet gears orbit around the sun gear, the carrier ...

  3. 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").

  4. Ravigneaux planetary gearset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ravigneaux_planetary_gearset

    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 ...

  5. Ford MT75 transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_MT75_transmission

    The 4x4 system is of full-time type with a static torque split of 34% front, 66% rear (similarly to Type 9 4x4 models). The MT75 has five speeds and reverse. This was the first Ford production gearbox to have a synchromesh on reverse (so reverse can be selected whilst in slight forward motion). The internal gear assembly in order from front to ...

  6. Simpson planetary gearset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson_planetary_gearset

    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 ...

  7. Mercedes-Benz 7G-Tronic transmission - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_7G-Tronic...

    Mercedes-AMG developed the 7-speed MCT "Multi Clutch Technology" planetary automatic transmission. The MCT transmission is essentially the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission without a torque converter. Instead of a torque converter, it uses a compact wet startup clutch to launch the car from a stop and also supports computer-controlled double ...

  8. Sun and planet gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_and_planet_gear

    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 ...

  9. BMW xDrive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_xDrive

    The centre differential has a default front:rear torque split of 37:63, due to the planetary gear. [5] Up to 80% of the torque can be transferred to the tripping axle, using the increasing shear force of the silicone fluid in the viscous coupling (due to the slotted/grooved plates inside the unit) as wheel slip causes one axle to spin faster ...
