And using a planetary gearhead often lets machine builders reduce the size and cost of motion-control hardware. Planetary units with helical gears, rather than spur gears, have a larger contact ratio.

Precision planetary servo gears are ideal for applications with dynamic loads, changing speeds, and frequent starts and stops. The first step in selecting the proper gear size is to analyze an ...

SEW-EURODRIVE is reducing lead times for its high-torque, compact P2.e drives for heavy industry customers in the U.S.

Another week in gaming has passed, and with it came a hearty mix of stories, including the birth of a 1,600-part calculator in LittleBigPlanet, the signs of a potential changing of the guard as ...

The system uses planetary gears to switch the rotation direction of the wheel, and a bar-mounted switch does the trick. Manual operation is of course, a breeze.

Advanced planetary gear units now assembled domestically, reducing lead times to six weeks for high-torque industrial applications.
