  Epicyclic gearing or planetarygearing is a gear system consisting of one or more outer gears, or planet gears, revolving about a central, or sun gear. Typically, the planet gears are mounted on a movable arm or carrier which itself may rotate relative to the sun gear. Epicyclic gearing systems also incorporate the use of an outer ring gear or annulus, which meshes with the planet gears. Gears 3

  Gears 4 4 Epicyclic Gear train Epicyclicmeans one gear revolving upon and around another. The design involves planet and sun gears as one orbits the other like a planet around the sun. Here is a picture of a typical gear box. This design can produce large gear ratios in a small space and are used on a wide range of applications from marine gearboxes to electric screw drivers.

  Gears 5 5 Epicyclic Gear train Itis the system of epicyclic gears in which at least one wheel axis itself revolves around another fixed axis.

  Epicyclic Gearset Gears 6 An epicyclicgear set has some gear or gears whose center revolves about some point. Here is a gearset with a stationary ring gear and three planet gears on a rotating carrier. The input is at the Sun, and the output is at the planet carrier. The action is epicyclic, because the centers of the planet gears revolve about the sun gear while the planet gears turn. Finding the gear ratio is somewhat complicated because the planet gears revolve while they rotate. INPUT CARRIER Ring Planet Sun

  Gears 8 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.

  Gears 9 Planetary Gear Train… Becausethere are three red gears instead of one, this gear train is extremely rugged. planetary gear sets is that they can produce different gear ratios depending on which gear you use as the input, which gear you use as the output, and which one you hold still.
