🌎⚙️ Planetary Gear Set: How Multiple Gears Work Together

🌎⚙️ Curious about how planetary gear sets manage complex motion? This video reveals the secret behind these intricate mechanisms used in everything from clocks to cars. Perfect for gearheads and engineers looking to dive into the mechanics of rotation and power distribution.
Planetary gear set is a type of epicyclic gear system that consists of a center gear (sun gear), outer gear (ring gear), and 3+ driven gears (planet gears).
Planetary gear sets have many applications, from power steering in cars to mechanisms in epicyclic clocks; this mechanism is commonly used due to the ability to handle high torque in a compact space.
Configuration 1: Sun gear is the input, and ring gear is stationary.
Configuration 2: Ring gear is the input, and sun gear is stationary.
Configuration 3: Sun gear is the input, and planet gear carrier is stationary.
