Final Drive

(1) Axle shaft

(2) Hub

(3) Ring gear

(4) Planetary carrier

(5) Planetary gears

(6) Sun gear

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.

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.

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

Power from the differential turns axle shaft (1). Axle shaft (1) turns sun gear (6). Sun gear (6) 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 causes planetary carrier (4) to turn. planetary
carrier (4) is turned in the same direction as sun gear (6), 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.
