Planet gear carrier for an epicyclic gear train and series of epicyclic gear trains

A planet gear carrier for an epicyclic gear train, the planet gear carrier comprising:

• a plurality of planet gears, each having a bearing pin;
• a pinion with an axial section;
• a carrier base with a plurality of first axial receptacles each spaced from each other and each for receiving one of the bearing pins of the plurality of planet gears;
• a plurality of second receptacles in the carrier base, each of said receptacles being arranged at a present range between adjacent first receptacles;
• a cover ring having a plurality of integral connecting pins, each connecting pin having a spacer section and a pin section, each of the second receptacles receiving a pin section in order to achieve a connection between the carrier base and the cover ring;
• and
• a depression with a predetermined depth in the carrier base for receiving the axial section of the pinion, wherein a radial opening is present between the depression and at least one of the axial receptacles and constitutes a spatial connection between the depression and the at least one axial receptacle.
