DESCRIPTION





The planetary gearsets are designated as the front, rear, and overdrive planetary gear assemblies and located in such order. A simple planetary gearset consists of three main members:

- The sun gear (2) which is at the center of the system.
- The planet carrier (3) with planet pinion gears (4) which are free to rotate on their own shafts and are in mesh with the sun gear.
- The annulus gear (1), which rotates around and is in mesh with the planet pinion gears.

NOTE: The number of pinion gears does not affect the gear ratio, only the duty rating.
