Planetary gearbox, the main link between servo motor and the application, is one of the most critical components in the entire smart factory system. It has to transmit motor power while ensuring maximum efficiency and precision, without causing additional noise or affecting the system temperature due to heat generation. In addition, the gearboxes are subjected to harsh working conditions such as low temperatures, corrosion, dust-free, food and pharmaceutical hygienic requirements. How these requirements can be met by ingenious design within this limited space has always been a challenge faced by the manufacturers of Planetary Gearboxes.

Planetary gearboxes were launched 30 years ago. At the beginning, planetary gearboxes have only appeared in high-end devices in Europe and the USA, have gradually entered the field of automation, and in recent years are widely used in machine tools...

What types are there of planetary gearboxes? 
After years of development, there are currently the following types of planetary gearboxes: 

Speed reducers (or gearboxes) are gearing assembly generally used in automation control systems to reduce the input power speed, usually from motors, to achieve desired output speed and torque. In 1901, an artefact made up of multiple bronze gears was retrieved in a shipwreck off the coast of Greek island Antikythera.

Gear reducers, also called gearboxes, derived from ancient metalworking process are foundation of many current innovations and techniques. Planetary gearbox is a type of speed reducers that were launched 30 years ago. At the beginning, planetary gearboxes have only appeared in high-end devices in Europe and America, then have gradually entered the field of automation.
