Method for assembling a planetary gear unit in a precise position
First Claim
1. Method for assembling with position precision a planetary gear unit comprises of a planetary gear, a planet shaft with pegs on the front sides, a bearing inserted between planet shaft and planetary gear, two thrust washers and two guide washers, which method is for use in a planetary transmission having a sun gear and at least one ring gear, characterized in that the following steps:
- a) the planetary gear unit is inserted with mean position tolerance via the ring gear (1) and the sun gear (2), aligned and braced in a tool (3, 4);
b) the tool, which has two displaceable stamps (3) coaxial with the planet shaft (8) and opposite to the two front sides thereof, the same as two jaws (4) with indented rings (12) surrounding the stamps in the form of a ring and displaceable independently of the stamps, closes until the indented rings (12) abut on the outer sides of the guide washers (5, 6) and clamp them;
c) the tool closes further until the indented rings (12) exert a constant pressure upon the outer sides of both thrust washers; and
d) the stamps (4) are pressed against the ends of the pegs (8a) of the planet shaft (8) with a force such that they are forged and thereby connect with position precision, positively and without play the appertaining guide washers with the planet shaft.

Abstract
The method for precise position assembling a planetary gear unit consisting of a planetary gear, a planet shaft, a bearing, two thrust washers and two guide washers, especially for use in a planetary transmission for an automatic transmission of a motor vehicle consists in that the planetary gear unit is inserted within mean position tolerance, aligned and braced in a tool which tool has two displaceable stamps and two jaws with indented rings which jaws surround the stamps forming a ring and can be displaced independently of the stamps. By closing the tool, the indented rings clamp the guide washers until a constant pressure is exerted against them. The stamps are pressed against the ends of the planet shaft until they are forged.
