摘要：This paper describes constructive methods of implementation of kinematic capabilities of a simple three-element planetary gear (PG) in the integrating (summing) modes. Kinematic capabilities of PG are much wider than used currently in designs. For example, a simple three-element PG can provide 7 gear options in the geared mode, where one of the PG elements is stopped (except of a top gear), as well as three gears in the integrating (summing) modes, where driving torque is applied at different rates on two elements, while is taken-off from the third element.
