Planetary Gear Train (Epicyclic Gear Train)
Planetary Gear Train
• In this train, the blue gear has six times the diameter of the
yellow gear
• The size of the red gear is not important because it is just
there to reverse the direction of rotation
• In this gear system, the yellow gear (the sun) engages all three
red gears (the planets) simultaneously
• All three are attached to a plate (the planet carrier), and they
engage the inside of the blue gear (the ring) instead of the
outside.
• They have higher gear ratios.
