777e Final Drive

The document summarizes the components and operation of a final drive in a powertrain. A final drive causes the last speed reduction and torque increase in the powertrain. Key components include the hub, ring gear, sun gear, planetary carrier, and planetary gears. Power from the differential turns the axle shaft and sun gear, which turns the planetary gears. As the ring gear is held stationary, the planetary gears move around it, turning the planetary carrier and wheel at a slower speed than the sun gear. The final drives receive lubrication from the rotating gears in the oil supply shared with the differential.

(1) Final drive
Each of the two final drives have the same components. A final drive causes the last speed reduction in
the power train and the last torque increase in the power train.

( 2) Hub
(3) Ring gear
(4) Sun gear
(5) Planetary carrier
(6) Planetary gears

Hub (2) is connected to the spindle housing. Ring gear (3) is fastened to hub (2). Ring gear (3), hub (2),
and the spindle housing are stationary.

The axle shaft is connected to final drive (1) by splines in sun gear (4). Sun gear (4) is engaged with
planetary gears (6). Planetary gears (6) are held in planetary carrier (5). Planetary carrier (5) is
connected to the wheel.

Power from the differential turns the axle shaft. The axle shaft turns sun gear (4). Sun gear (4) turns
planetary gear (6). Because ring gear (3) is held stationary by hub (2), the planetary gears move around
the inside of ring gear (3). The movement of the planetary gears will cause planetary carrier (5) to turn.
Planetary carrier (5) is turned in the same direction as sun gear (4), but at a slower speed. Planetary
carrier (5) drives the wheel.

The final drives receive lubrication by the rotation of the gears in the oil. The differential and the final
drives use the same lubricant.
