Study Notes
Planetary Carrier
- Largest component in a planetary gearset.
- Acts as an essential support structure for gears within the assembly.
Direct Drive
- Occurs when two members of a simple planetary gearset are locked together.
- Results in direct coupling between input and output, enhancing efficiency.
Reverse
- Output direction is achieved when the planetary carrier is held stationary.
- This mechanism allows for vehicle movement in the opposite direction.
Speed and Direction Relationship
- An increase in speed output typically leads to a reversal of direction.
- Key dynamic in understanding transmission functions in automotive systems.
