What is Planetary Gearbox?
A planetary gearbox is a type of gear train that uses a central gear, called the sun gear, and a ring gear, called the annulus gear. The sun gear is surrounded by a number of smaller gears, called planet gears, which are mounted on a carrier. The planet gears mesh with both the sun gear and the annulus gear.
The planetary gearbox can be used to transmit power from the sun gear to the annulus gear, or vice versa. The direction of rotation of the output shaft can be the same as the direction of rotation of the input shaft, or opposite. The speed of the output shaft can be greater than, less than, or equal to the speed of the input shaft.
The planetary gearbox is a compact and efficient way to transmit power. It is often used in applications where space is limited, such as in automobiles, robotics, and machine tools.
