Planet Carrier Weld

| Description: |
Planet Carrier Assemblies |
Lightweight, fuel efficient vehicles require small planet carrier designs made with high strength materials. In high torque applications, particularly in diesel engines, increased stress occurs in the beginning and the end of each segmented weld within the planet carrier. Electron beam welding minimizes stress risers at these points by producing welds with no underfill, no undercuts and no cracks. |
| Material(s): |
Carbon Steel |
|
| Joint Geometry: | axial and radial segmented welds | |
| Weld Depth: | 0.120 in. (3mm) for light duty to 1 in. (25 mm) for heavy duty |
