The planetary gearing system is compact and lightweight. The performance of planetary gearing system which uses floating intermediate rings have been found to be very good for practical systems. To apply this system for the reduction of rotation of an engine, in designing stage, the quantitative estimate of the load sharing factors is required for understanding the performance. The method widely used for this purpose is to make use of elastic deformation of components of the structure or to utilize hydrodynamic oil film. This paper shows the way how to analyze the static load sharing factors by using the coefficient ''. This method can be applied for non-linear systems such as oil film bearing. The influences of various factors on '' of oil film spring are also shown. Furthermore, It is established in this study that the use of floating intermediate ring in designing the planetary gearing system has a very high reliability.
