Planetary Gears, Planetary Gearbox,

Planetary configuration is the latest Gear Technology as they are highly reliable, rugged and efficient The above gear boxes, working to around 97% efficiency, are replacing warm and helical gearboxes which are otherwise conventionally used in India. These gear boxes are maintenance free because of the planetary configuration, which eliminates the thrust load experienced by Warm or Helical Gear boxes (i.e. only on one surface). Being maintenance free, the planetary gear boxes reduce the inventory cost of spares and subsequently the labour cost or machine's downtime associated with maintenance. One major benefit is that the power consumption is much lower than the conventional gear box and so saves a lot of money. In industrial applications, in certain cases, the power saving itself amortizes the cost of a gear box in a year or so if the machine run is continuous. Above all, it is a highly rugged and reliable system as there are three gears instead of one to take the load. The gearboxes are available in foot mounted, shaft mounted, in line and right angle, depending upon the application of the buyer. For any given application, a Planetary gear box is much more compact and of considerable lesser weight compared to a conventional Warm or Helical gear. Planetary reduction gears are designed to implement power transmission inside operator machines. They can be connected directly or indirectly to an electric or hydraulic motor. Planetary reduction gears are used for many different applications, both industrial and mobile, for example the mechanical industry, the chemical & plastics industry, he food industry, building and construction, mining/extraction, agriculture & forestry, transport and hoisting, the naval sector and wind energy generators.
