Question

Why epicyclic gear trains are generally preferred in automatic transmission?

Answer 1

Answer:

Power transmission efficiency will be quite good as compared to traditional gearboxes i.e. higher proportion of input energy will be delivered with the help of such gearing arrangement. Planetary gear system will have higher torque transmission capability and will have lower inertia.
