Toyota hybrids are known for using CVT transmissions. However, modern Toyota hybrids actually use something called an e-CVT.

SEW-EURODRIVE is reducing lead times for its high-torque, compact P2.e drives for heavy industry customers in the U.S.

At Eurobike 2023, Driven Technologies unveiled its newest prototype called the Orbit Drive, a shaft-driven e-bike system with bevel planetary gears.

The solution is a planetary gear assembly that drives a rotating ring and cam arrangement coupled to the facehugger’s legs. There’s only one motor, but the effect is that each leg’s motion ...

Throughout the 1900s, cars with manual transmissions slowly gave way to those with the ability to shift between gears automatically. Early automatic transmissions with names like Hydra-Matic ...

ZF’s unit is similar to Lucid’s in the sense that a centrally mounted motor is on the same rotational axis as the reduction gears, which are planetary sets. A differential is also integrated ...

EV drive planetary gears refers to the gear systems used in EVs with one or more electric motors to transmit power from the motor to the wheels. Planetary gears consist of a sun gear, a ring gear ...

The planetary gear train is a mechanical system in which the gears are connected with a set of bands and ... when you shift your vehicle into drive, you engage all available forward gear ratios.

In the example of a 10-tooth gear driving a 41-tooth gear, the input gear would turn 4.1 times for every 1 turn of the driven gear. This is called underdrive, or gear reduction.

Firstly, when low-gear is engaged, a number of components will move out-of-sync with the input shaft, including all three planetary gears (which is what provides the low ratio in the first place).

Unlike most manual transmissions as we know them today, the Model T's transmission featured a two-speed planetary gearset, providing a basic high and low-gear configuration.
