Abstract
A space-saving compart change direction planetary gearing includes a reverse brake, a forward clutch and a planetary gear set. The brake includes a cylindrical portion integral with a pinion carrier of the planetary gear set. The clutch drum and planetary gear set including pinions carried by the pinion carrier are received in the cylindrical portion. In mounting the component parts within a casing, a brake piston is inserted into the casing. Then, an assembly of the clutch, planetary gear set including the pinion carrier integral with the cylindrical portion and an input shaft is inserted into the casing. Then, a brake frictional plate assembly is engaged between the cylindrical portion and a cylindrical inner wall of the casing.
