Benefits of Planetary Gearbox
High power density – Power density is the amount of power (time rate of energy transfer) per unit volume. In case of planetary gears the load is shared by several planets instead of single gear like in other types of gearing, More the planets more the sharing of load and more the power density. As a result of which planetary gear box provide high power density in comparison to standard parallel axis gearboxes. Reduction due to high volume of planet gears, Multiple kinematic combinations, Purely torsional reactions, and coaxial shafting are the main parameters for high power density of planetary gears. Compact Size : Due to high power density and coaxial shaft arrangement, the planetary gearboxes are more compact. In case of planetary gear system, driving member and driven member are concentric and therefore driving and driven equipment's could be installed in same line which will result space saving. More on use of multiple planet gears helps to achieve high gear ratios i
