Abstract
Formed in a pinion () are pinion-side helical external teeth (A) that mesh with a ring gear), and pinion-side helical internal teeth () that mesh with a pinion inner (). Formed in the pinion inner () are pinion inner-side helical external teeth () that mesh with the pinion-side helical internal teeth (). The configuration is formed so that when the rotational speed of the pinion () is slower than that of the ring gear (), a thrust load is generated in a direction toward the ring gear (), and when the rotational speed of the pinion () is faster than that of the ring gear (), a thrust load is generated in a direction away from the ring gear ().
