Planetary speed reducers are a package of gears used for maximum speed reduction with a simultaneous increase in torque. This objective is accomplished through planetary gears that rotate about a sun gear thereby achieving the required speed reduction with simultaneous torque increment. The rotation of the sun gear is brought about by the input shaft. Torque is applied to the rotating planet member by each planet gear simultaneously with the planet member subsequently applying torque to the output shaft. Gears of this type provide low noise levels, high efficiency, superior performance, outstanding torsional stiffness and a highly accurate power transmission. They are common in applications that necessitate low speed output and high torque including conveyor systems, shredders, augers, etc

Home->Speed Reducers->Planetary Search Tips Rexnord Corp. (Milwaukee, WI) A foot mounted, inline/concentric gear reducer using planetary gearing. Splined input and output shafts isolate internal gearing from external forces. Heavy duty roller bearings on the output shaft are subject to external forces only - not internally generated gear forces. www.rexnord.com Company Profile E-Mail Company Product Literature Engineering Gear Systems Corporation (Waukesha, WI) www.egsi.com Company Profile E-Mail Company
