  • Patent number: 11719329
    Abstract: A reducing assembly includes a planet carrier that is flexible and fixed, borne by a casing which surrounds it by two distinct connections with this casing, with a device for applying a torsional prestress to the planet carrier between these two connections. Prestressing the flexible planet carrier makes it possible to limit its level of mechanical stress when it is in service, in order to simplify its design and dimensioning.
