Planetary Gear Ring Epicyclic Reduction Pinion Pitch Drive Mini Kavitsu Speed Reducer Bonfiglioli 300 Series Apex Servo Gearbox
Product Description
Advantages:
- High Torque Density: Planetary gearboxes can transmit a large amount of torque relative to their compact size and weight. This is due to the load being shared among multiple planet gears.
- Compact and Lightweight: Their coaxial design, where the input and output shafts are aligned, contributes to a smaller footprint and lower weight compared to traditional parallel shaft gearboxes with similar torque capacity.
- High Efficiency: The arrangement of multiple gears meshing simultaneously leads to efficient power transmission with minimal energy loss (typically around 97% efficiency per stage).
- Good Stability and Load Distribution: The symmetrical arrangement of the planet gears around the sun gear provides excellent stability and evenly distributes the load, reducing stress on individual components.
- Reduced Backlash: Many planetary gearboxes, especially precision types, offer very low backlash, which is crucial for applications requiring high accuracy and responsiveness.
- Coaxial Input and Output: The in-line configuration simplifies integration into many machine designs.
- High Reduction Ratios: Planetary gearboxes can achieve significant speed reduction in a compact package, and multiple stages can be combined for even higher ratios.
- Durability and Long Lifespan: With proper design and manufacturing, the even load distribution contributes to a longer service life compared to other gearbox types under similar loads.
