Abstract: A method for producing a ring gear for a planetary gear train, wherein a continuous profile is produced by an extrusion process and the continuous profile is subsequently cut to a predetermined cutting length in order to form a ring gear body.

Abstract: A planetary gear carrier for an epicyclic gear train with at least two bearing journals and at least two bearing holes, wherein the bearing journals are in each case combinable with a first planetary gear to form a first gear reduction ratio, and the bearing holes are in each case combinable with a second planetary gear to form a second gear reduction ratio.

Abstract: A set for the manufacture of epicyclic gear trains with different gear reductions, including at least one planet carrier, which features at least two first holes arranged on a first circular line, and at least two second holes arranged on a second circular line, and at least one first cover ring for a first gear reduction and at least one second cover ring for a second gear reduction, each of which features at least two bearing holes for receiving bearing pins of planet gears, wherein the first cover ring features at least two connecting pins for connecting to the first holes of the planet carrier, and the second cover ring features at least two connecting pins for connecting to the second holes of the planet carrier. In addition, the invention relates to a gear assembly that is formed from such a set.

Abstract: A gear housing for an epicyclic gear set, the gear housing including a hollow wheel having internal teething and a first front end with a first front-side joining surface; a housing cover having a second front end with a second front-side joining surface for longitudinally axially covering the hollow wheel; and a bonded connection for connecting the first front end to the second front end through the mating of the first and second front-side joining surfaces, at which the hollow wheel and the housing cover are connected to each other by a bonded connection, in particular, by heated tool welding, infrared welding, ultrasonic welding, or rotary friction welding.
