Planetary gears

What is Planetary Gear?Aerospace precision parts are a special type of machine made up of several gears working together. The primary function of a them is to transfer energy from one component of a machine to another component. Planetary gets its name from the arrangement of gears. The planets move around the sun, and behind them, the gears of a planetary system move in similar fashion. Look at a typical planetary gear system, there is a master gear at the center called sun gear surrounded by an outer ring gear. Between these two are smaller gears called planet gears that rotate. Small parts known as bearings hold these gears together and enable them to move smoothly and efficiently.

How Planetary Gears Improve Power Transmission

The benefit of using planetary gears in a machine is very effective, which is why they are one of the most used gear types. They are particularly valuable in high-performance and high-power-density equipment where the available space is limited. Such a design gives planetary gears a great advantage over other standard types of gears. For instance, machines equipped with planetary gears can perform a range of function with minimal energy consumption. In fact, this makes the machine more powerful and energy-efficient at the same time.
