Sentences with phrase «of planetary gear sets»

Another goal was to implement the nine gears with a minimal number of planetary gear sets and shift elements.

Unlike the T2 Torsen where the torque split is a nominal 50:50, in the T3 Torsen the torque split, due to the use of the planetary gear set, is an actual asymmetric 40:60 front - rear torque split (i.e., when grip is equal on both front and rear axles, 40 % of torque is sent to the front axle, and 60 % to the rear).

This is made possible by the addition of a planetary gear set and a multiple - plate clutch operated by an electric motor on both output sides of the rear differential.

In addition to its motor - generator duties, the crucial MG1 adds two functions: One as a starter motor for the gas engine; and two, by regulating the amount of electrical power it generates (which varies its RPM), MG1 controls the output speed of the transaxle through the planetary gear set — without clutches or viscous couplings.

The center distance and vertical drop between the engine and output axes were designed to be common; this design approach enables the use of a common chain transfer design and final drive gearing, which provided a wide range of final drive sprocket and planetary gear sets allowing an effective final drive ranging from 2.64 to 3.50.
