Operating instructions H A K 0 OH-Model no. 239 PLANETARY GEARS (simple) A. General: On fully automatic transmissions, the ratios are engaged with the aid of planetary gears. gears have the following advantages: -Planetary very compact construction. - distribution of torque on several gears. - can be shifted under load. This model shows a simple planetary gear, also known as a planetary train. gear The planetary gear train has the following basic elements: - 1 internally-geared wheel (green) - 3 planetary gears (red) - 1 sun gear (yellow) 1 planetary carrier (transparent) - The ratios and the different directions of rotation of a planetary gear train result from securely holding the sun gear, internally-geared wheel or planetary carrier. If two elements are connected positively at the same time, the planetary gear is locked (it can no longer rotate within itself), in other words, the direct gear is engaged (ratio 1: 1). The following abbreviations are used in the table: Pt for planetary carrier, So for sun gear, Ho for Internally-gearedwheel.

However only 2-3 alternatives are used in a motor vehicle. In practice, planetary gear trains are used more and more. B. Use of model: Now all ratios found in the above table can be demonstrated on the model. Only the number of teeth on the internally-gearedwheel and sun gear are of significance for the transmission ratio. The planetary gears are intermediate gears and do not change the ratio.
