Quick disengagement apparatus for wheel drive mechanisms

摘要: In a wheel drive mechanism adapted to produce high torque, low speed power the through gearing system that includes sun gear and plurality of planetary pinion gears meshed therewith, for disengaging ready vehicle travel over highway. The is supported on shaft has an elongated splined portion so can be moved axially into position at which it disengaged from gears. A spring biases engagement with there controllably sliding along against spring. accessible exterior hub, fast acting provides locking in either its engaged or position.
