Abstract
A planet carrier includes a central axis, a pair of carrier shells, planet wheels and riveting devices. Each carrier shell has planetary wheel sections and connecting sections. The connecting sections are arranged as forming sections recessed relative to the planetary gear sections. Each of the planetary wheels is disposed in a planetary wheel section and the riveting devices connect the carrier shells at the connecting sections. Each riveting device is oriented in a circumferential direction around the central axis, is formed in one piece from one material, and has an H-shape. The H-shape is formed from a web section arranged as a spacer between the carrier shells and a rivet section with a pair of single rivets. Each single rivet has a rivet head disposed on one of the carrier shells to fix the one of the carrier shells on the web section.
