Planetary Gear Outline

PLANETARY GEAR OUTLINE
^ The planetary gear is a transaxle which converts the driving force of the turbine shaft to the optimal driving force and transmits it to the output gear through the operation of each clutch and brake.
^ A double arranged gear with a single planetary gear unit is adopted as the main shifting mechanism for the planetary gear; they are the front planetary gear and the rear planetary gear (from converter side).
^ A single planetary gear unit is adopted as the sub-shifting mechanism.
^ The planetary gear consists of the internal gear, planetary carrier (pinion gears), and the sun gear.
