Select the proper Planetary Gearbox

Select the Gearbox model by Torque

Through a gearbox the input torque will be amplified, and theoretically the output torque is proportional to the reduction ratio, that is, the larger the ratio, the greater the torque. But because of the design limitation by gear unit inside a gearbox, therefore there’re different rated torques per ratio. For stabilizing the life cycle, it’s necessary to choose the proper output torque according to the tabulation of rated torque.

Select the Gearbox Model by Accuracy

When the industrial application is designed for precise positioning, the low backlash gearbox is the main choice should be taken. The accuracy of the planetary gear reducer is called "backlash", which indicates to the backlash of the gear set. For the scope of gearbox, it is defined as the angle at which the output shaft of the reducer can rotate when the input end is fixed.

Select the Gearbox by Assembling way

There’re complete series of gearboxes can be chosen for diverse assembling interfaces in industrial design, and the professional engineer team can also help for customizing project.

Select the Gearbox by Axial and Radial Force

The life cycle of a gearbox is influenced by loading. When gearbox bears the higher axial & radial force, the life cycle of the bearings on output side will be shorten, furthermore influences to the inner gear units, therefore, in designing procedure the radial & axial force need to be considered.

Applications of Planetary Gearboxes

Planetary gear reducer is often used in the field of precision motion control for satisfying the requirements of high torque, torsional rigidity, and low backlash. The selecting of an appropriate reduction ratio can provide greater torque, make the mechanism to be operated at the optimal speed, and reduce the moment of inertia of the load to increase the equipment stability. Planetary gear reducer allows the machine builder to minimize the space in designing the whole motion control module, furthermore reduces the cost. The applying scope of Planetary gear reducer covers the entire automation field as following:
