Abstract
A manual helical planetary transmission comprises a housing, a sun gear, a planet carrier with helical planetary gears and an axially displaceable ring gear which can be coupled to the housing or to the planet carrier. The transmission provides a compact and easy-to-produce solution for locking the gears. For this purpose, first saw-tooth coupling teeth are provided on both sides of the fronts of the ring gear and have a gently sloping first profile. Second saw-tooth coupling teeth provided on the housing and the planet carrier have a gently sloping profile and fit into the first coupling teeth. In the respective gear, the peripheral forces acting upon the ring gear force the gently sloping first profiles of the first coupling teeth against the gently sloping first profiles of the second coupling teeth on the housing or the planet carrier, thereby frictionally keeping the ring gear in the respective engaged position.
