Abstract
A planetary transmission having a centrifugal brake is connected into a vehicle drive line and, when there is a rotational speed difference between an input shaft and an output shaft, transmits torque to the output shaft. Due to a special mounting of the input shaft and the output shaft of the planetary transmission, the occurring forces and torques are transmitted effectively, in which the case the parts of the planetary transmission can be manufactured in a cost-effective way and are easy to assemble.
