ABSTRACT:
An epicyclic gear train comprises support spindles for the planet or star wheels cantilevered from a single support flange. The cross sections of the spindles vary with distance from the support plate so that under tangential loading the bearing surfaces of the spindles will assume a position essentially parallel to the axis of the gear train.
