Planetary Carriers

Since the 1980's, GKN has led the powder metal industry in the production of powder metal planetary carrier housings. GKN consistently meets the challenge of producing complex geometric features while reducing costs and improving strength, stiffness, and durability. Using precision metal manufacturing processes, GKN incorporates features for weight reduction, lubrication, strength and component mating into the design eliminating the need for additional process steps. The use of sinter brazing technology for multiple component bonding can provide a durable, high strength joint without the need for expensive secondary operations.

  • Optimized joining process
  • Net-shape features eliminate expensive machining processes
  • FEA improves manufacturability and ensures product integrity
