  • Power and torque branching in a planetary gear system
    Patent number: 4304152
    Abstract: The planetary gear system includes two parallel operating planet gears interposed between an input and an output shaft, with a common planet gear carrier secured to the output shaft and two telescoped intermediate shafts for the sun gears. These intermediate shafts are resiliently mounted for radial balance while a particular gear coupling between the input shaft and the two intermediate shafts ensures torsional balance between the two branches. This branch coupling, providing torsional balance, is described in considerable detail.
