Fundamental design of planetary gear units
The essential design of a planetary gear unit includes a sun gear, a ring gear and many planetary gears. The planetary gears are backed by the ring gear and rotate around sunlight gear. This operating principle provided the name to this kind of gear unit. The gear unit’s drive and output functions can be carried out by the sun gear, the casing or the planetary carrier, depending on the design.

In the most typical design, the epicyclic gear unit, the drive function is performed by the sun gear, the output function by the planetary carrier, and the housing is stationary. This design has a positive impact on the internal forces in the gear unit. The strain distribution over several planetary gears enables high torques to be transmitted in a compact design. The usage of helical gears decreases the running noises.
