what is a planetary gear

There are many types of reducers, why are they named planetary reducers, and why are planetary reducers small in size, high in torque, and high in precision? Today, the Zhuochuang Transmission editor will answer each question for you.
Firstly, from the appearance, the planetary gearbox can be divided into three sections.
One input segment: the end connected to the motor. Includes input shaft hole, input flange
Second reduction section: It is also the core section of the reducer, which appears to be the casing, but actually contains core components such as planetary gears, sun gears, internal gear rings, and other internal organs.

Three output segments: namely the connection end with the equipment, including the output shaft and output flange.


The servo motor shaft is inserted into the input shaft hole of the planetary reducer, and is precisely connected through the clamping device of the planetary reducer input shaft hole. The servo motor flange and the planetary reducer input flange are precisely connected by screws, which is the input end of the planetary reducer, that is, the motor end. The planetary gearbox, which is a clamping device, has higher precision and greater load-bearing torque compared to the traditional gearbox's key attached connection
The input shaft hole is precisely connected to the input gear, which is collectively referred to as the sun gear in our planetary gearbox. The output shaft and planetary carrier are integrated structures, and the planetary carrier is equipped with three or more gears, which are called planetary gears. The planetary gears mesh with the sun gear at equal angles. Taking three planetary gears as an example, this torque splitting structure design allows each gear or tooth to only bear one-third of the torque, which leads to the characteristics of small size and high load-bearing torque of planetary reducers. The planetary gearbox housing is equipped with an internal gear ring, and the output flange is connected to the housing. The internal gear ring is embedded in the housing. The internal gear ring and output flange of our CSG adopt an integrated structural design, and the internal gear ring is inserted into the box body, with better strength concentricity. The planetary gears on the planetary carrier are located inside the gear ring, and the planetary gears are precisely meshed around the internal gear ring for transmission. Due to the precise wrapping of the internal gear ring around the planetary gears, and the precise meshing of the planetary gears around the sun gear, the precision of the planetary reducer is very high, compensating for the gap caused by the mutual displacement of the two objects.
