What Is the Working Principle of Planetary Gearboxes? Leave a comment
Planetary Gearboxes are widely used in industry and machinery for their high efficiency, high torque density and compact structure. It realizes power transmission through the relative motion of “sun gear”, “planet gear” and “ring gear”.
Working Principle
Basic Structure
The sun gear is at the center and connects to the input shaft.
Planet gears orbit around the sun gear and engage with the ring gear.
The ring gear is fixed or serves as the output, engaging with the planet gears.
Power Transmission
The input shaft drives the sun gear, causing the planet gears to rotate and orbit within the ring gear, transmitting power to the output shaft.
Reduction Ratio Calculation
The reduction ratio of the planetary reducer is determined by the gear ratio:
Reduction ratio = 1 + number of sun gear teeth / number of inner ring teeth
Advantages
- High torque density
- Compact design, space-saving
- Smooth operation, low noise
Planetary reducers are suitable for scenarios requiring high precision and high torque, such as automation equipment and robots.
