Designers generally turn to gear reducers in servopositioning applications for two reasons. First, many applications require less speed and more torque than economically available from a servo-motor ...

For applications with inflexible torque demand, sometimes designers specify oversized and less efficient gearsets. Other times, manufacturing engineers sacrifice torque in their designs to minimize ...

Ronkonkoma, NY-Engineers at Thomson Micron LLC developed a "swing-link" technology for its new Equalizer(TM)gearhead that improves performance measured against comparable fixed planetary designs at a ...

Both transmissions have a planetary gear design and are ready for up to 400 Nm of input torque. The rear coaxial unit weighs just 16 kg and has an integrated parking lock for very high loads.

Gears provide two main functions in motion-control systems. In power systems, they match the relatively low-speed, high-torque requirement of the load to the high-speed, low-torque, high-efficiency ...
