The Epicyclic Reduction Gear
Principle
If the annulus is held fixed and the sun gear is rotated, the planet
gears spin about their shafts and in turn force the planet carrier to
rotate in the same direction as sun gear, but at a slower speed. The
output shaft integral with the planet carrier also rotates with it.
Practical Application
Low
When the range change synchronizer sleeve (attached to the
annulus) is in mesh with synchro flange fixed to rear case, the
annulus is locked and the output shaft rotates in the same direction
as input shaft, but at a slower speed.
High
When the range sliding sleeve is in mesh with the synchro flange fixed to the planet carrier, the annulus
and planet carrier (output shaft) are locked together. Now, the planet gears can no longer rotate about
their shafts and the whole planetary assembly rotates as a single unit. So, the output shaft rotates at the
same speed as that of the sun gear.
