What is Epicyclic Gear Reducer?

 

The PGL060 series double-support precision epicyclic gear reducer is one of Hansheng Automation's four precision reducer products. Its core advantage lies in the combination of an epicyclic gear structure and a double-support system, achieving a balance between efficient deceleration, high torque output, and stable operation.

 

Its operating principle is based on a coordinated "sun gear - planet gear - ring gear" transmission: the central sun gear receives power input from the motor, driving three or four planet gears to rotate around the sun gear. The planet gears simultaneously mesh with the fixed outer ring gear, ultimately outputting power through the double-support planet carrier. It is particularly suitable for industrial applications requiring frequent starts and stops and dynamic load fluctuations.

 

Compared to traditional spur gear reducers, the PGL060's double-support planet carrier significantly reduces vibration and wear, while the epicyclic structure ensures more uniform power transmission-a key factor in its excellent performance in equipment such as robotic joints and automated production lines.

 

Features

 

Two-Point Design

The PGL060 series has a novel dual support system that increases load capacity and stability while lowering vibration and wear when running.

 
 

Extreme low starting torque

The PGL060 series provides far lower beginning torque than conventional square spur gear reducers, therefore reducing the effect on the motor during startup and improving the general system dependability.

 
 

Changing Output Shaft Configuration

By changing the output shaft configuration-that is, diameter, length, and connecting method-users may meet particular needs, thereby increasing the adaptability and installation flexibility of the product.

 
 

Versatile Input Choices

By choosing from a range of input configurations-servo motors, stepper motors, various kinds of drive devices-users increase system flexibility and compatibility.

 

Model and Parameter

 

This product has a similar shape to the Bevel Gear Type PGH Series, but its internal structure difference is still obvious, the PGL series is a straight type planetary gearbox, while the PGH series is a helical type planetary gearbox, due to the difference between the meshing of the straight tooth and the helical tooth and the transmission efficiency, which leads to a significant difference in the performance of the two products, the PGL060 Series Epicyclic Gear The backlash of the Reducer is significantly larger than that of the same model of PGH, the backlash that can be achieved by PGL060 is ≤6 arcmin, and the backlash of PGH060 can reach ≤2 arcmin. The torsional rigidity of PGH060 is 6 N.m/arcmin, while that of PGL060 is only 2.8 N.m/arcmin.

What structures does PGL Series Planetary Gearbox consist of?

Strong construction intended for great performance and dependability characterizes the Precision Integrated Double Support PGL060 Series Epicyclic Gear Reducer. Four basic parts make up this gear reducer:

1

The Case, Ring Gear

Perfect contact with the planetary gears and solar gear is made possible by the case's internal teeth. By providing a constant and stationary base, the PGL060 series' casing provides accurate performance under various stress conditions.

2

The Sun Equipment

Centally located, the solar gear receives direct input from the motor shaft. The gear ratio is defined by the number of teeth on the sun gear relative to the ring gear, therefore facilitating efficient power transmission to the surrounding planetary gears.

3

The Gears of Planet Earth

Usually running three to four planet gears around the sun gear, the PGL060 series makes advantage of several Apart from increasing load distribution and torque capacity, this unique structure reduces rolling resistance. Importantly, the number of teeth on the planet has no effect on the overall gear ratio, thereby providing maximal design flexibility.

4

The Planet Carrier with Dual Support

The planet carrier ties the planet gears and provides a required dual support system. This smart design makes running less vibrantly and more steady. From the planet gears, the carrier functions as the output shaft directly delivering the combined torque and speed to the gearbox output. Especially suitable for demanding uses, its dual support feature increases the overall load-bearing capacity and longevity of the reducer.

Typical Applications of the PGL060 Series Epicyclic Gear Reducers

 

Industrial Robotics: Used in the waist joint of palletizing robots;

 

Logistics and Conveying Equipment: On the drive end of chain conveyors, the low starting torque reduces losses from frequent motor starts and stops;

 

Packaging Machinery: Suitable for intermittent operation of film sealing machines, the output shaft is customized with a spline connection to ensure synchronous transmission with the conveyor rollers;

 

Heavy-Duty Machine Tools: Used in feed systems, the double-support structure resists radial forces during cutting and improves processing stability.
