Technician A says that the number of planetary pinions in a carrier depends upon the torque load that the gearset is expected to carry.Technician B says that the planetary carrier assembly is capable of exerting the most leverage on the axis of a planetary gearset.Who is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Technician A is correct because the number of planetary pinions can indeed vary based on the expected torque load, with more pinions being used to handle higher loads. Technician B is also correct because the planetary carrier assembly, by holding the planetary gears, plays a crucial role in distributing and exerting leverage within the gearset, affecting its overall mechanical advantage and operation.
