Abstract
A planetary gear arrangement includes a planet carrier assembly defining a sun gear rotation axis for rotatably supporting a plurality of planetary gears about the sun gear rotation axis and a positioning element coupling a first of the planetary gears to the planet carrier. The planetary gear is movable between first and second positions for displacing a rotation axis of the first of the planetary gears relative to the sun gear rotation axis to change load share among the plurality of planetary gears.
