Due to the load sharing attributes of multiple tooth contacts, planetary gearboxes provide the highest torque and stiffness for any given envelope. Balanced planetary kinematics at high speeds combined with the associated load sharing make planetary-type gearheads ideal for servo applications.
Other significant advantages include:
- True helical technology provides increased tooth to tooth contact ratio by 33% vs. spur gearing
- 12° helix angle produces smooth and quiet operation
- One piece planet carrier and output shaft design reduces backlash
- Single step machining process
- Assures 100% concentricity
- Increases tortional rigidity
- Efficient lubrication for life
