  • Patent number: 11391365
    Abstract: A planetary gear device including an axially rotation-protected thrust washer is described herein. The planetary gear device includes gear components revolving around an axis of rotation, wherein the gear components include a planet gear, as well as a planetary carrier for the planet gear. The planetary gear device also includes a gear housing encasing the revolving gear components, a thrust washer supported around or at the axis of rotation, and a rotation protection, by means of which the thrust washer can be positioned so as to be rotation-protected. The rotation protection is an axially-engaging rotation protection, and the thrust washer is arranged such that the axially-engaging rotation protection is provided relative to the planetary carrier and/or relative to the gear housing by means of an axially-protruding protrusion at an interface between the thrust washer, the planetary carrier, and/or the gear housing.
