Groschopp’s DC Planetary gearmotors are an inline option for low speed, high torque, and/or variable load requirements. These gear motors are designed for intermittent duty operation because the planetary gearbox configuration provides the highest efficiency and best output torque of all our speed reducers. Planetary gear motor (planetary geared motor/epicyclic gear train) is a combination by planetary type gearbox and a DC motor with the features of speed reduction, high transmission efficiency, smooth power output and high torque.
A gear motor’s gear reduction mechanism increases the torque output, allowing it to power loads that require more torque than the motor alone can produce. For higher torque applications, you want to use metal gears opposed to plastic. Coaxial arrangement of input shaft and output shaft. Load distribution to several planetary gears. efficiency due to low rolling power. Almost unlimited transmission ratio options due to combination of several planet stages. Increased repeatability: Its greater speed radial and axial load offers reliability and robustness, minimizing the misalignment of the gear. Perfect precision: Most rotating angular stability improves the accuracy and reliability of the movement.
Planetary gear transmission (PGT) is widely used in the automobiles, helicopters and marine applications. PGT is more advanced than counter-shaft drive because of its higher torque-to-weight ratio, compactness and reduced noise. The efficiency loss in a planetary gear train is typically about 3% per stage. This type of efficiency ensures that a high proportion (about 97%) of the energy being input is transmitted through the gearbox, rather than being wasted on mechanical losses inside the gearbox.
