Planetary Gear Operation

PLANETARY GEAR OPERATION
^ The planetary gear works as a transaxle when the sun gear and the internal gear are engaged.





^ The sun gear, installed inside of the pinion gears, and the internal gear, installed outside of the pinion gears, are engaged with their respective gears.
The sun gear and the internal gear rotate on the center of the planetary gear.
^ The pinion gears turn in the following two ways:
- On their own centers (rotation)





- On the center of the planetary gear (revolution)
