  Epicyclic gearing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epicyclic gearing or planetary gearing is a gear system that consists of one or more outer gears, or planet gears, rotating about a central, or sun gear.
The gear ratio in an epicyclic gearing system is somewhat non-intuitive, particularly because there are several ways in which an input rotation can be converted into an output rotation.
For instance, if the sun gear has 24 teeth, and each planet has 16 teeth, then the ratio is -24/16, or -3/2; this means that one clockwise turn of the sun gear produces 1.5 counterclockwise turns of the planet gears.

 YP Planetary Gear
YP Planetary Gear is designed to assist teachers and students when they study the working of a planetary gear train.
A planetary gear train is a mechanism consisting of an assembly of meshed gears: the sun gear, the planet carrier, and the ring gear.
With YP Planetary Gear, you may observe the motion of a planetary gear train when one of its parts is locked.

 Howstuffworks "How Gear Ratios Work"
In a worm gear, a threaded shaft engages the teeth on a gear.
However, imagine that you want the axis of the output gear to be the same as that of the input gear.
An automatic transmission uses planetary gearsets to create the different gear ratios, using clutches and brake bands to hold different parts of the gearset stationary and change the inputs and outputs.

 Tech info on the molecular planetary gear
As several important properties of the planetary gear are currently not well understood (including the maximum speed of operation that is feasible, the maximum torque that can be applied, etc) the "best" modeling conditions are not currently known.
Another method of determining whether or not the planetary gear will function at a given frequency would be to start all components of the structure moving with approximately the correct velocities, and then observe the resulting behavior.
A simulation of the original planetary gear in which the sungear was given an instantaneous initial rotational speed of 500 gigahertz was done at Caltech.

 Automatic Transmissions A Short Course on How They Work
In this scenario, when we turn the ring gear, the planets will "walk" along the sun gear (which is held stationary) causing the planet carrier to turn the output shaft in the same direction as the input shaft but at a slower speed causing gear reduction (similar to a car in first gear).
To shift from first to high gear, the band is released and the clutch is applied causing the output shaft to turn at the same speed as the input shaft.
Some of the clever gear arrangements found in four and now, five, six and even seven-speed automatics are complex enough to make a technically astute lay person's head spin trying to understand the flow of power through the transmission as it shifts from first gear through top gear while the vehicle accelerates to highway speed.

These small gears are called planet and they are engaged to the inside of the large gear called the ring.
In a planetary gearing, the member which receives motion from outside the mechanism is called the driver; the member from which motion is taken outside the mechanism is called the follower; the member which carries one or more bearing pins about which the planet gears rotate is called the train arm.
Planetary gears are also used to produce different gear ratios depending on the which gear is used as input, which one as output and which one is held stationary.

 Planetary Gears
A pair of spur gears is represented in the diagram by their pitch circles, which are tangent at the pitch point P. The meshing gear teeth extend beyond the pitch circle by the addendum, and the spaces between them have a depth beneath the pitch circle by the dedendum.
The velocity ratio r of a pair of gears is the ratio of the angular velocity of the driven gear to the angular velocity of the driving gear.
The velocity ratio of the gears does not depend on the exact spacing of the axes, but is fixed by the number of teeth, or what is the same thing, by the pitch diameters.

 Howstuffworks "How Automatic Transmissions Work"
The key difference between a manual and an automatic transmission is that the manual transmission locks and unlocks different sets of gears to the output shaft to achieve the various gear ratios, while in an automatic transmission, the same set of gears produces all of the different gear ratios.
The input is the small sun gear; the ring gear (large sun gear) is held stationary by the band, and the output is the planet carrier.
Reverse is very similar to first gear, except that instead of the small sun gear being driven by the torque converter turbine, the bigger sun gear is driven, and the small one freewheels in the opposite direction.

 Planetary Gear Motor
The name planetary is used interchangeably with epicyclic to denote the whole family of gears.
The reversibility allows this power to be transmitted to the high speed end of the gear box without causing any damage to the gears, couplings or other elements in the line of power transmission.
The power transmitting capacity of Planetary gear systems is higher than standard gearboxes and hence they are able to transmit greater power for a given size.
