Gearbox Types
Planetary gearbox Planetary gear The planetary gearbox got its name because it resembles the solar system. The components of the planetary gearbox include the sun gear, the ring gear, and the planetary gear. The sun gear is a center gear fixed in the center, a ring gear (ring wheel), which is an outer ring with inward-facing teeth, and a planetary gear that rotates around the sun gear and meshes with the sun and the crown. serrated. Physical properties The sun, rings, and planetary gears in a planetary gearbox are made of aluminum, stainless steel, or brass. The material used depends on the manufacturer. Note: Gears made of steel material are prone to noise and wear when they come into contact with other gears. Planetary Gearbox Applications Planetary gearboxes are used in applications that require low backlash, compact size, high efficiency, impact resistance, and high torque-to-weight ratio. • rotary drive • ...
