Planetary gears mesh with the sun and ring gears at several locations. This means more teeth are engaged to drive the load than in conventional gear-and-pinion meshes.

There was a time when print-in-place moving parts were a curiosity, but [Tomek] shows that things are now at a point where a hand-cranked turbine blower with integrated planetary gears can be ...

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

The planetary gear set, also known as an epicyclic gear set, is the brain of automatic transmissions, allowing the system to smoothly upshift and downshift while you're driving.

Throughout the 1900s, cars with manual transmissions slowly gave way to those with the ability to shift between gears automatically. Early automatic transmissions with names like Hydra-Matic ...

In this assembly, the planetary gears, which are shaved to make them quieter for street operation, revolve around a sun gear. See All 10 Photos.

Available with torque ratings from 2 to 124 kNm, the SEW P2.e range covers gear ratios from 15,2 to 332:1. While most planetary gearboxes have a three-stage design only, the SEW P2.e can also be ...
