Abstract: A series for an epicyclic gear train and a planet gear carrier consisting of a carrier base with a plurality of axial receptacles for bearing pins of planet gears and a depression for receiving an axial section of a pinion. The object of the present invention is to specify a planet gear carrier, which shifts the boundaries of the reduction range such that a greater variation of the reduction gear ratios is possible, wherein an economical process is used and reliable production is ensured. Also described is a series of planetary gear trains having the same properties. In the case of series, the number of components is in particular to be minimized by increasingly using common parts that can be combined with other common parts.
