Abstract
A gear drive includes a first rotational input coupled to a first planetary gear set. The gear drive further includes a second planetary gear set rotationally coupled to the first planetary gear set. The gear drive also includes a second sun gear of the second planetary gear set coupled to a first output. The gear drive further includes a second ring gear of the second planetary gear set coupled to a second output.
Claims20
A gear drive comprising:
- a first planetary gear set and a second planetary gear set;
- a first carrier of the first planetary gear set coupled to a rotatable element of the second planetary gear set through an intermediate structure securing the first carrier rotationally to the rotatable element of the second planetary gear set;
- a first ring gear of the first planetary gear set rotatably coupled to a second ring gear of the second planetary gear set in a radial and lateral direction through nested intermediate structures that facilitate rotation of the first ring gear relative to the second ring gear;
- an output extending from the gear drive;
- and
- an input extending from the gear drive on an opposite axial end of the gear drive from the output;
- wherein the intermediate structure and the nested intermediate structures are coaxial with the output and the input.
