Abstract
A planet wheel carrier which includes first and second end-sections for supporting shafts of planet wheels of a planetary gear, the planet wheel carrier containing a support structure connected to the first and second end-sections and located between the first and second end-sections in the axial direction of the planet wheels and between the planet wheels in the circumferential direction of the planet wheel carrier. The first end-section is attached to the support structure so that at least part of the first end-section is non-destructively detachable from the support structure. This feature facilitates the maintenance of the planetary gear because, after removing the first end-section or its detachable part, the planet wheels can be removed and installed substantially easier than in cases where there is a traditional one-piece planet wheel carrier.
