Advantages and Limitations of Planetary Gearboxes | Planetary gearbox in delhi

A gear motor is a combination of an electric motor and a certain number of the gears. The main purpose of the industrial motor is to reduce the motor speed while maintaining high torque. Gears are combined with a motor in order to lower the motor speed while increasing output torque. Precimotion is positioned as a global expert in planetary gearbox in south delhi.

The main advantages of gear motors include:

• Simplifying design and implementation;
• Eliminating design and integration of motors with gears;
• Reducing costs for engineering.

 

Gear motors are used in a huge variety of industrial applications. From the small gear motors in clocks, to large gear motors used in industrial applications, such as motors in cranes for lifting heavy loads of different materials. They come in a variety of styles and variations, including: worm gear motors, inline design motors and parallel shaft models. This type of motor is classified in a number of ways, according to different criteria.

 

One of the main divisions is based on the power source requirements of the motor. Hence there are two general types of gear motors: AC motors and DC motors. The type of motor powering has an impact on several factors that determine the performance of the motor. Such factors are reliability, maintenance and the operating cost as well as complexity of speed control. 

Advantages of planetary gear system:

• Planetary gear systems have lots of advantage as compared to traditional gearboxes.
• Planetary gear systems could be used to secure higher gear ratio in compact space. Therefore we prefer to use the planetary gearing arrangement where we need to reduce the speed in compact space.
• For a similar gear ratio, the planetary gear system will have light weight as compared to a traditional gearbox.
• Power transmission efficiency will be quite good as compared to traditional gearboxes i.e. higher proportion of input energy will be delivered with the help of such gearing arrangement.
• Planetary gear systems will have higher torque transmission capability and will have lower inertia.
• As we are looking here, that load which is being transmitted will be shared between multiple planet gears, hence load distribution will be quite good and torque transmission will also be increased by using planetary gearing arrangement.
• In case of planetary gear systems, driving members and driven members are concentric and therefore driving and driven equipment could be installed in the same line which will result in space saving.
• Planetary gearing arrangement will provide higher stability.
• Service life will also be quite good if we compare it with the traditional gearboxes service life for similar load.

Limitations of planetary gear system: 

• Cost of a planetary gear system will be high as compared to a traditional gearbox.
• Planetary gear system’s designing and manufacturing are quite complex.
• Determination of efficiency of planetary gear systems will be difficult.
• Gearing should be accurate.
• Some planetary gearing arrangements make additional sound during operation.
• To avoid any additional gearing, the driving member and driven member must be concentric.
