Planetary Gearboxes: Is Torque Enough?
Featured Product from jbj Techniques Limited
The Output Shaft Carries more than Driving Torque
A planetary gearbox may meet your torque and speed requirements, but what other loads will its output shaft carry? Radial and axial forces also need consideration when assessing suitability and bearing life.
» Before selecting a gearbox, check:
» Required output torque and speed.
» Operating duty, including starts and stops.
» Radial and axial loads on the output shaft.
» Motor connection and mounting arrangement.
» Available installation space.
» Any braking requirement.
jbj Techniques supplies modular planetary gearboxes with in-line and right-angle arrangements, multiple output configurations and adaptors for electric, hydraulic and air motors.
Bespoke input arrangements can also be accommodated, including one-off requirements.
Share the application details with jbj’s engineering team so that gearbox selection can account for the loads and installation as well as the reduction ratio.
