Disclosed is a planetary gear transmission box, comprising a housing portion, a first planetary gear transmission stage, and a second planetary gear transmission stage, wherein the first planetary gear transmission stage comprises a first sun gear (3), a first planetary carrier (5), and a first ring gear; the second planetary gear transmission stage comprises a second sun gear, a second planetary carrier (7), and a second ring gear (6); the first sun gear (3) is connected to an external input element; the first planetary carrier (5) is connected to the second sun gear; the second planetary carrier (7) is connected to an output element; the transmission ratio of the gear transmission box is greater than 25; and the second planetary carrier (7) is directly supported on the housing portion. The locked rotor torque of the gear box is increased, such that the output rotational speed is reduced, and thus a bearing member at the output end can be omitted.

A tool, such as a tape measure, including a spring-based retraction system is shown. The retraction system utilizes an epicyclic gear train coupled between the tape blade winding reel and a rotating arbor or axle within the tape measure. A spiral spring has an outer end coupled to the reel and an inner end coupled to the axle. The gear train may be a reduction gear train such that the axle rotates slower than the reel. By coupling the spiral spring between the gear train input and gear train output, high energy density springs may be used, which may allow for decrease in housing size, increase in tape length or thickness for a given housing size, and/or advantageous retraction speed control.

An apparatus for use in turning steerable vehicle wheels includes a steering column having a pinion connected with a vehicle steering wheel such that rotation of the steering wheel results in rotation of the pinion. An electrically powered steering unit includes an electric motor having a first output shaft rotatable about an axis. A first planetary gear stage has a first gear reduction ratio and is driven by the first output shaft. A second planetary gear stage is driven by the first planetary gear stage and the pinion and has a second gear reduction ratio different from the first gear reduction ratio. A second output shaft is driven by the second planetary gear stage and coupled to the steerable wheels such that rotation of the second output shaft affects steering of the vehicle wheels.
