Abstract

A planet carrier assembly includes a shaft and a planet carrier with a first carrier side plate. The shaft includes an axially aligned axis of rotation, a guide surface, and an axial stop axially adjacent to the guide surface. The first carrier side plate is materially bonded to the shaft at a first joining zone formed axially between the axial stop and the first carrier side plate. The first carrier side plate has a holder radially supported on the guide surface and centered on the axis of rotation. The guide surface may run in a circumferential direction around the axis of rotation. The guide surface may have at least a section of an external cylindrical surface.
