  • Patent number: 11092232
    Abstract: An output frame is connected to a portion of a radially outer portion of a carrier, the portion being closer to a front plate than to a rear plate. The carrier has a first region as an external force transmission path between front pin support surfaces and the output frame, and a second region as the external for transmission path between rear shaft support surfaces and the output frame, and a stiffness with respect to a twist force of the first region and a stiffness with respect to the twist force of the second region are equal to each other. In the front plate and the rear plate, a stiffness with respect to a radial tensile force applied to the front pin support surfaces and a stiffness with respect to the radial tensile force applied to the rear shaft support surfaces are equal to each other.

  • Patent number: 10794466
    Abstract: A planetary gear device includes a sun gear; a plurality of planetary gears; a planetary carrier at which the plurality of planetary gears are rotatably provided; and a ring gear, wherein the planetary carrier includes an oil feeding passage which feeds lubricating oil to at least one of the plurality of planetary gears, wherein the ring gear is a double helical gear in which a pair of rows of internal teeth are arranged in a direction of an axis line of the ring gear and the internal teeth of one of the rows and the internal teeth of the other of the rows are inclined in different directions, the ring gear including at least one discharge passage, wherein the at least one discharge passage includes an inlet-side portion and an outlet-side portion, the inlet-side portion being closer to an inlet configured to open in a region between the pair of rows of internal teeth at an inner peripheral surface of the ring gear, and the outlet-side portion being closer to an outlet configured to open in a region of an out
