Abstract In order to improve the fuel effi ciency of vehicles to counter the current environmental crisis, the development of automatic transmission (AT) has continued to progress for increasing gear steps to multispeed, requiring planetary bearings for high-speed revolution. Moreover, planetary bearings for ATs are used under severe conditions such as high moment and centrifugal force. This paper describes the characteristics and design technique of planetary gear bearing developed by our company which facilitates high effi ciency and high-speed revolution.
