Patent ID: 7329203

Claim:
Planet carrier for a gearbox comprising a one-piece, step-shaped outer cup body, in which a similarly one-piece, step-shaped inner cup body is inserted, wherein the outer and the inner cup bodies each comprise a sleeve section, which is connected at one end by a radially inwardly ring-shaped disk to a sleeve, which transitions into a tubular projection via a radially inwardly extending base, wherein an outer diameter of the sleeve section, the sleeve, and the tubular projection of the inner cup body are adapted to corresponding inner diameters of the outer cup body, wherein an axial extent of the sleeve section of the inner cup body is smaller than that of the sleeve section of the outer cup body and a sum of axial lengths of the sleeve section and the sleeve of the inner cup body is greater than that of the sleeve section of the outer cup body, so that the sleeve section of the outer and inner cup bodies are closed flush at the end when planet gears are arranged between the ring-shaped disks, and wherein recesses are arranged in the sleeve section of the outer cup body and the sleeve of the inner cup body, wherein the planet gears are guided radially through the recesses.
