An epicyclic gear system (A, B), which is highly compact, yet capable of transferring substantial torque, includes a sun gear ( 2, 62 ), a ring gear ( 4, 64 ) around the sun gear, and planet gears ( 6, 8, 66, 68 ) organized in two rows between the sun and ring gears. In addition, the gear system has a carrier ( 10, 70 ) provided with one or two flanges ( 14, 72, 74 ) and flexible pins ( 20, 22, 80, 82 ) around which the planet gears revolve. The planet gears are mounted on the pins in a double cantilever arrangement to improve the mesh with the sun and ring gears and achieve better load distribution. |
