Planetary gearboxes, also known as epicyclic gearboxes, are distinctively engineered using a sophisticated design that capitalizes on the principle of planet-like movement of gears around a central, sun gear.
They consist of three main components:
- The Sun Gear: Located at the center of the gearbox, the sun gear is the central, driving gear. This gear interfaces with all the planetary gears.
- The Planetary Gears: These are the gears that revolve around the sun gear, similar to planets revolving around the sun. The number of planetary gears varies depending on the specific design, but they all interact with both the sun gear and the ring gear. This arrangement allows them to spread the load over multiple contact points, leading to high torque capability.
- The Ring Gear: Also known as the annulus gear, this is the outer gear with inward-facing teeth. It encases the planetary gears and meshes with them, completing the gear train.
The design of the planetary gearbox provides it with numerous advantageous features that make it suitable for a variety of applications. Firstly, due to the distribution of the load across multiple planetary gears, these gearboxes can handle high torque levels despite their compact size. They also offer increased efficiency, high precision, and low backlash, making them ideal for use in precision applications.
Furthermore, due to their inherent design, planetary gearboxes can absorb shocks and impacts well, extending their operational life and reducing maintenance requirements. This makes them particularly useful in heavy-duty applications and those involving sudden or variable loads.
At Servo2Go, we offer a comprehensive range of gearing products tailored to meet the needs of various industries and applications. Our selection focuses on high-quality, reliable, and efficient planetary gearheads.
- Inline Planetary Gearhead Products, Low Backlash: These gearheads are designed for precise, high-speed applications where a low backlash is essential. They offer improved positional accuracy, superior torsional stiffness, and high efficiency, making them ideal for use in robotics, CNC machinery, and other precision applications.
- Inline Planetary Gearhead Products, Standard Backlash: For applications that demand high torque but do not necessarily require extremely low backlash, our standard backlash inline planetary gearheads are the perfect choice. They deliver high power transmission and efficiency, while their rugged construction ensures longevity and reliable operation.
- MultiDrive Planetary Gearhead Products: Our MultiDrive planetary gearheads provide an effective solution for applications that require high torque and precision, but also need to accommodate multiple drives. These gearheads enable the connection of several drives to a single output, optimizing performance while minimizing space and complexity.
