The design of planetary gear systems is restricted by the difficulty that engineers have in calculating the unequal load sharing between planets. This can occur due to manufacturing errors or system ...

The dual coupler design connects one end to the inner gear shaft and the other to the gearbox housing, essentially adding a "switch" to the power transmission. The starter interacts with the ...

The components get assembled into a planetary gearhead with a roller chain replacing the traditional ring gear. They are assembled into a complete gearhead from Gearing Solutions. Durable gears for ...

Stellantis may be looking to adapt planetary gear hybrid systems—like the one currently used in the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid plug-in hybrid minivan—to more rugged vehicles, a patent filing indicates.

Victory planetary gearheads use three or more planet gears revolving around a single pinion, or sun gear, which allows internal load sharing. True planetary design, the manufacturer says, is optimal ...

As planetary suit and planetary life support systems develop, specific design inputs for each system relate to a presently unanswered question concerning operational concepts: What distance can be ...

Throughout the 1900s, cars with manual transmissions slowly gave way to those with the ability to shift between gears automatically. Early automatic transmissions with names like Hydra-Matic, Dynaflow ...

Professor Aniebiet Inyang Ntui is a multi-faceted individual whose expertise spans the worlds of library and information science, environmental advocacy, and – perhaps surprisingly – the automotive ...

A clock is perhaps one of the the most popular projects among makers. Most designs we see are purely electronic and do not bother with the often more complicated mechanical part. Instructables user ...
