Publication number: 20210254702Abstract: A method of mounting a gearbox is described. The gearbox includes an outer sun gear and planet gears meshing with an inner sun gear and with the outer sun gear and each mounted for free rotation around a pivot of a planet carrier. The outer sun gear includes a first crown having a first toothing and a second crown having a second toothing each meshing with first and second toothings of the planet gears. The method consists in applying simultaneously and independently a first torque to the first crown centered on the axis of the first crown and a second torque is applied to the second crown centered on the axis of the second crown, the first torque and the second torque having identical values.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2019Publication date: August 19, 2021Applicant: SAFRAN TRANSMISSION SYSTEMSInventors: Jean-Charles Michel Pierre Di Giovanni, Florian Rappaport
