Abstract
An Epicyclic gearbox comprising one central gear, one or more offset gears and two carriers, requires one less gear than a planetary gearbox. It lacks an orbit gear and its planets maintain a fixed orientation as they circulate around the sun. The present invention provides a lower reduction ratio, reduced pitch velocity, higher torque capacity, and lower production cost than a planetary gearbox. An all-pinion design allows it to be fitted with gears, cables, chains, belts, or any other type of engaging means. Its high efficiency and low noise make it well suited to high speed operation and overdrive applications.
