Abstract

The present invention refers to a planetary gearing comprising a planet carrier which is adapted to be rotated about an axis of rotation, a sun gear, at least one planetary gear, and a ring gear, at least one axle end projecting beyond one end face of said planet carrier and said planetary gear being rotatably supported on said axle end by means of its axle-reception opening. Especially in small-size planetary gearings making use of sintered components, the service life is to be improved. For this purpose, it is suggested that the planetary gear should be constructed such that it is at least radially displaceable with regard to the axis of rotation of the said planet carrier.
