Abstract: The present invention concerns a gear mechanism of the planetary type, a procedure for manufacturing a component of the gear mechanism, and an apparatus for manufacturing the gear component. The gear mechanism, which has one incoming and one outgoing shaft, is characterized by two or more planetary gear wheels, each being equipped with two mutually, firmly connected gear wheels with different diametrical pitches. One of the gear wheels is in mesh with, on one hand, a sun wheel, fitted on the incoming shaft, and, on the other hand, with a gear ring, firmly connected to a housing surrounding the gear mechanism. The other gear wheel on each planetary gear wheel is in mesh with a gear wheel, preferentially a gear ring, firmly connected to the outgoing shaft.
