Abstract
The invention relates to an epicyclic reducer for a vehicle hub that includes: a housing; a sun gear arranged in the housing that includes sun teeth and is configured for coupling to an input; a plurality of planet gears, each of which includes planet teeth meshed with some of the sun teeth; a planet carrier that couples the planet gears to each other and is configured as an output; and a ring gear that includes ring teeth meshed with some of the planet teeth of each of the planet gears. The ring gear can be moved within the housing between a reduction position in which the planet gears are configured to rotate relative to the ring gear, and a direct drive position in which the ring gear is constrained to rotate with the planet gears.
