<p>A planet carrier assembly (10) has a pair of spaced parallel side plates (12,14) interconnected by a body (12) with a plurality of aligned aperture pairs (26,28) formed in the side plates for receiving mounting spindles (24) on which pinion gear members (22) are rotatably supported. Each spindle has a shoulder (36) which contacts a locating surface (40) on one side plate to limit axial movement of the spindle in one direction relative to the side plates. A segmental space (42) is provided at the longitudinal end of each spindle adjacent the shoulder and each space is arranged such that a flat surface thereof faces radially outward at assembly. A retainer plate (54) having complementary radially extending locating surfaces cooperate with the flat surfaces of the segmental spaces to limit rotation of the spindle relative to the side plates. A retaining ring (58) is secured in one side plate adjacent the retainer plate to limit axial movement of the spindles in the other direction relative to the side plates. <IMAGE></p> |
