• Planetary units with helical gears, rather than spur gears, have higher torque capacity and run quieter. • Different manufacturers measure and rate backlash in different ways. • Software tools for ...

Integrated planetary-geared servomotors are a compact choice for high-performance applications. Designers generally turn to gear reducers in servopositioning applications for two reasons. First, many ...

A clock is perhaps one of the the most popular projects among makers. Most designs we see are purely electronic and do not bother with the often more complicated mechanical part. Instructables user ...

Gears provide two main functions in motion-control systems. In power systems, they match the relatively low-speed, high-torque requirement of the load to the high-speed, low-torque, high-efficiency ...

[wyojustin] was trying to think of projects he could do that would take advantage of some of the fabrication tech that’s become available to the average hobbyist. Even though he doesn’t have any ...

The Epicyclic gearbox was devised in 1781 (as a sun and planet gear) by James Watt for use in conjunction with his steam engines. The concept was adopted in 1902 by Sturmey and Archer for a ...

SEW Eurodrive has announced a major expansion in its U.S. manufacturing capability with the local assembly of its advanced P2.e planetary gear units, now available with lead times as short as six ...

Both transmissions have a planetary gear design and are ready for up to 400 Nm of input torque. The rear coaxial unit weighs just 16 kg and has an integrated parking lock for very high loads.
