Speed and torqu e ar e n ot converted by th e dir ect
gear r atio of th e 4th gear. Power is tra nsferr ed from
the input shaft (25) to th e outpu t shaft (26) via th ree
locked plan etar y gearset s. (F ig. 8) (Fig. 9)
Front Planetary Gear Set
The pla neta ry ca rrier (13) and sun gear (21) are
connect ed via the engaged m ultiple-disc clutch K1
(7). The planetary gea rset is therefor e locked and
turns a s a closed u nit at the in pu t speed due to the
mecha nica l connection of th e a nnulus gear (8) and
the input shaft (25).
Rear Planetary Gear Set
The m ult iple-disc clu tch K2 (9) is engaged and
transfers the input speed of the inpu t shaft (25) t o
the planetar y carrier (15) via the annulus gear (10).
The annulus gear (11) turns in the same way as th e
planet ary ca rrier (15) due t o t he mechanica l connec-
tion with the locked front planet ary gea rset. The
planet ary gearset is therefor e locked an d tu rns as a
closed unit.
Center Planetary Gear Set
The a nnulus gear (10) turn s at the input speed as
a result of the en gaged multiple-disc clut ch K2 (9).
The multiple-disc clutch K3 (12) connects the sun
gear s (22) and (23) of t he rea r and cent er plan etar y
gear set. The planetar y gear set is locked by the same
speeds of t he ann ulus gea r (10) and the sun gea r (22)
and it turns as a closed u nit.
