Planetary Gear Set Assambly

A planetary gear assembly is utilized in scenarios necessitating significant speed reduction or high torque. Its typical configuration features a central sun gear meshing with planet gears, which subsequently engage with a ring gear. A link arm or carrier connects these components, enabling two degrees of freedom - an input rotatory motion and an output motion. Efficient speed reduction is attained by restricting movement in the sun, planet, or ring gear.
