A planetary gearbox is a mechanism for transmitting and converting torque using mutually movable toothed elements moving relative to a common center.

Purpose of Planetary Gearboxes

Reductor planetario belongs to the group of mechanical gearboxes. Its purpose is to change the resulting force with a coefficient determined by the gear ratio.

Due to the design features of a planetary gearbox, the conversion is more efficient and controllable, which allows the use of planetary gearboxes in dividers and gearboxes with high levels of force.

Types of planetary gearboxes are classified according to the features of the device and the purpose associated with it.

These are single-stage and multi-stage designs (number of conversion units), differential and simple (dividers), bevel and cylindrical (by gear shape), wave with an open epicycle ring.
