Precision Planetary Gear Reducer

A planetary gearbox is a type of mechanical drive that involves a series of reduction ratios. The smallest ratio is 3:1, while the highest ratio is 10: the sun gear becomes too large against the planet gears when the ratio is less than 3. Similarly, the torque of a planetary gear reduces when the ratio exceeds 10. The planetary system was first described by Leonardo da Vinci in 1490 and has been in use ever since.

A planetary gearbox has a set of teeth on each planetary axis. The teeth on each planet must mesh with the sun and ring gears. The number of planets and the spacing between planets determines whether the teeth mesh. However, the helix angle does not change the fundamentals of planetary phasing. The helix angle introduces axial forces into the gear mesh, which may cancel or reinforce the dynamic signal in different ways.

In addition to reducing the number of gearbox failures, a planetary gearbox lubricant extends the service life of the equipment. Planetary gears contain sliding and rolling parts, and an improper lubricant can result in increased wear. Lubricants for planetary gears may be made of oil, grease, or synthetic gel. To make sure that the gears stay in perfect condition, apply the lubricant as prescribed.

The stepped planet gears have two selectable sun gears. The first gear step of the stepped planet gears engages the sun gear #1. The second gear step of the stepped planet gears engages the sun gear #2. The two gears are coupled to an axle or ring gear. This system is flexible enough to enable three different ratios to be achieved. The stepped planet gears are also able to engage in a reduction situation.

The reduction ratios of a planetary gearbox are dependent on the number of teeth in each gear. In this example, the outer ring gear has N r = -24/ 16 and the sun gear is N s=+16/ 16.

Another planetary gearset is the sun gear, which achieves the second highest transmission ratio. A ring gear is fixed to the sun gear carrier and acts as the output shaft. In the reverse direction, the input and output are reversed, resulting in i=0.8 or i=1/1.25. Similarly, a planetary gear can also be made direct drive, serving as the second gear in a three-speed gear hub.

The two-stage planetary gear has a transverse-torsional coupling dynamic model. The mass matrix of the gearbox structures is modeled to incorporate the mesh and support stiffness. The vibration characteristics of the planetary gear transmission are investigated by means of vibration analysis. The vibration modes are defined and a formulation is developed to obtain modal kinetic energy. The vibration is caused by the variations in load and speed as well as errors in manufacturing and installation.

Planetary gears are used in rugged environments because they are much more durable than other types of drive systems. Their uniform distribution of gears makes them more durable and able to withstand higher torques, reductions, and overhung loads. The planetary gearing system also has unique self-aligning properties that make it very useful for demanding applications. This gearing system is used in many different industries. They can withstand high shock and load levels and are also a reliable choice in industrial and manufacturing settings.
