An Intermediate Ring used in a planetary carrier helps in the operation of a planetary gear system and is located between the sun gear and the planet gears within the carrier assembly. It acts as a link that transfers torque and rotational forces from the sun gear to the planet gears, allowing for power transmission and gear ratio changes within the unit.

Attributes:
• Prevents misalignment or shifting of the gears during operation
• Helps to dampen the vibrations caused by the movements

Applications:
An Intermediate Ring helps distribute the torque to the planet gears, causing them to rotate around the sun gear which helps to distribute the load evenly and assists in controlling the movement.
