Name of the Project: Planetary Gearbox

Abstract of the Work:

About planetary gearbox:

When you take apart and look inside an automatic

transmission, you find a huge assortment of parts in a
fairly small space. Among other things, you see:
1. An ingenious planetary gearset
2. A set of bands to lock parts of a gearset
3. A set of three wet-plate clutches to lock other
parts of the gearset
4. An incredibly odd hydraulic system that controls the clutches and bands
5. A large gear pump to move transmission fluid around

The center of attention is the planetary gearset. About the size of a cantaloupe, this one part creates
all of the different gear ratios that the transmission can produce. Everything else in the transmission
is there to help the planetary gearset do its thing. This amazing piece of gearing has appeared on
HowStuffWorks before. You may recognize it from the electric screwdriver article. An automatic
transmission contains two complete planetary gearsets folded together into one component. See
How Gear Ratios Work for an introduction to planetary gearsets.
Any planetary gearset has three main components:
1. The sun gear
2. The planet gears and the planet gears' carrier
3. The ring gear

We have performed motion analysis of a planetary gearbox with the help of online research,
going through some research papers/ journals and watching some videos related to the
topic.
