38. Planet_Carrier Design

Ready-to-use parametric planet_carrier design. It is composed of the rear and the front planet_carrier. It is used by the Low_torque_transmission Design and High_torque_transmission Design.

To get an overview of the possible planet_carrier designs that can be generated by planet_carrier(), run:

> python planet_carrier.py --run_self_test

38.1. Planet_Carrier Parameters

38.1.1. Overview

The planet_carrier is composed of the following parts:

  • planet_carrier_rear
  • planet_carrier_front

The planet_carrier_rear is the fusion of the rear plate the the middle bits. The planet_carrier_front is the simple plate that can be fused with a sun-gear in a future design.
