Planetary gear trains are a type of gear train that uses a planet gear that meshes with both a sun gear and a ring gear. This design allows for a high gear ratio in a compact package, making it ideal for applications where space is limited. Planetary gear trains are often used in high-power applications, such as in wind turbines and electric vehicles.
