Gearboxes are divided into conventional gear reducers and planetary reducers according to their gear structure. A conventional gear reducer is assembled from an outer box, gears, shaft, bearings, etc., and is achieved by the difference in the number of teeth between the upper and lower gears to achieve a reduction effect. Each component in the planetary reducer is fully utilized, and each collar can operate well, achieving a transmission efficiency of 5-10% higher than that of conventional gear reducers.
Moreover, almost every gear in the planetary reducer has undergone hardening treatment, so compared to conventional reducers, the gears are harder, have a longer service life, and have higher precision after special treatment. The reduction ratio can be changed by adding a gear set, and the compact design greatly reduces the required position for use
Nowadays, with the rapid development of automation machinery in various industries, in order to facilitate the matching of planetary reducers with more types of motors, planetary reducer manufacturers divide the finished planetary reducer into different modules for production, and then assemble them. Under normal circumstances, there will be three modules. Output: The output end of the planetary reducer (output shaft for shaft output, output disc for disc output, flange, etc.). Box: It is the outer shell part that primarily houses planetary gears. Input: The part that is combined with the servo motor during installation.
The output end is fixed and produced according to industry standards; The outer shell of the box is determined based on the condition of the internal gears; So the customization part of a planetary gearbox is usually focused on the input end.
