Abstract

A planetary gear carrier assembly includes a plurality of planetary gears each rotatable about a respective planet axis defined by a respective pin through the gear, and a planetary gear carrier defining an annular housing having a front face and a back face defining a housing therebetween and an annulus axis. The planetary gears are located within and spaced circumferentially around the housing. A position balancing arrangement is provided for at least one of the plurality of planetary gears, including a slot formed in the front face and back face, extending circumferentially, to receive the pin of the respective at least one of the planetary gears for circumferential movement within the slot, and a resilient element in biased engagement with the pin to adjust the position of the pin in the slot towards a desired position responsive to movement of the pin away from the desired position in the slot.
