Planetary gear system
View Patent ↗A planetary gear system having at least one planet carrier which comprises a planet carrier plate which is produced from plastic in one pieces together with at least one bearing pin for a planetary gear and which, on the output side, is rotationally fixed connected to a sun gear. According to the invention, a thrust collar that is connected to the planet carrier plate in one piece is provided between the planetary gear and the planet carrier plate of the planet carrier.
1. A planetary gear system with at least one planet carrier, which comprises a planet carrier plate having a first side with at least one bearing pin for a planet gear, and a second side as a drive side of the planet carrier plate having a sun gear connected in a torque-proof fashion, wherein a thrust collar annularly circles the at least one bearing pin and is connected to the second side of the planet carrier plate between the planet carrier plate and the planet gear, wherein the planet carrier plate, the at least one bearing pin, and the thrust collar are formed as a single piece.
2. The planetary gear system of claim 1 , wherein the thrust collar is embodied annularly.
3. The planetary gear system of claim 1 , wherein the planet carrier plate is embodied with a circumferential groove around the bearing pin, with a jacket surface of the bearing pin making a steady transmission into the circumferential groove.
4. The planetary gear system of claim 1 , wherein the planet carrier plate is embodied with reinforcing ribs at the driven side.
5. The planetary gear system of claim 4 , wherein several of the reinforcing ribs extend radially.
6. The planetary gear system of claim 4 , wherein the reinforcing ribs extend concentrically about the sun gear at the driven side.
7. The planetary gear system of claim 1 , wherein the planet carrier is produced as an injection molded part from a fiberglass reinforced plastic.
8. The planetary gear system of claim 1 , wherein at least one planet gear is produced from plastic, wherein the plastic is polyoxymethylene further comprising a filler.
9. The planetary gear system of claim 8 , wherein polytetrafluoroethylene fibers sold under the trademark Teflon™ fibers are used as fillers for reinforcing the plastic.
