Power flow, 2nd gear

Power flow, 2nd gear


The input shaft rotates clockwise and is connected to the rear planetary gear train's (P1) ring gear by clutch C1. The result is that the input shaft and the rear planetary gear train's ring gear rotate clockwise as a unit.

Freewheel F1 and brake B2 prevent the sun wheel from rotating.

The rear planet gear runs clockwise round the sun wheel at the same time as it rotates clockwise.

The planet carrier and the driving intermediate gear rotate clockwise as a unit at a lower speed than the input shaft but at a higher speed than in 1st gear.

Since the driving intermediate gear rotates clockwise, the driven intermediate gear and the lower planetary gear train's (P3) ring gear rotate anticlockwise as a unit.

The lower planetary gear train's planet gear rotates anticlockwise. Brake B4 and freewheel F3 prevent the lower planetary gear train's sun wheel from rotating.

The lower planetary gear train's planet gear runs anticlockwise round the sun wheel at the same time as it rotates. The lower planet carrier and the final gear rotate anticlockwise as a unit at a lower speed than the driven intermediate gear.
