1.What is a planetary gearbox?
Let's understand it from a layman's perspective.
1. First its name:
The name “Planetary Gearbox” (or “Planetary Gear Reducer”) comes from the way its gears operate in a manner similar to a miniature solar system.
2. its structural composition, a set of gears usually consists of three parts: the sun wheel and the planetary wheel and the planetary carrier. The following is a pictorial explanation of their meaning:
2.1 Sun Gear: The central gear, similar to the sun.
2.2 Planetary Gear: Gear that runs around the sun gear, similar to the way planets run around the sun.
2.3 Planetary carrier: The structure that carries the planetary gears, similar to the gravity that makes the planets orbit around the sun.
3. How they operate: Ring gears: External gears with internal teeth that mesh with the planetary gears, similar to the boundaries that surround the “solar system”.
This designation is based on the gear system's visual and functional similarity to the celestial arrangement. The central solar gear drives the planetary gears, which move within the ring gear, mimicking the orbital mechanics of the planets. This configuration is not only descriptive, but also highlights the interdependent and balanced nature of the gear movements within the system, much like the celestial bodies in the solar system.
2.What are the visible parts of the actual planetary reducer?
1, Input: connects to the motor port. They are connected together by shafts, couplings, screws, and mounting flanges.
2, Output: Connects to the output torque mechanism section. For example: gears, synchronizer wheels, etc. There are many types of outputs, such as shaft output PLF, disk flange output PLX, and hole output PBF series.
3, the intermediate body part: gear ring, gear type, generally straight and helical gears, and some helical gears.
3.WHERE IS THE PLANETARY GEARBOX USUALLY USED (IN THE
TRANSMISSION)?
Planetary gearboxes are commonly used for a variety of applications in drive systems that require small size, high efficiency and high torque. The most common uses on automated machinery and equipment include:
1. Packaging machinery and equipment: this type is used quite a lot. Matching stepper motor, servo motor use. Used as a power source in mechanical equipment to realize the various functions of the machinery. For example: material gripping, transportation to the designated location. Then open the package, then fill the material, packaging seal. There are also some arrangements and combinations, so that the packaged items are neatly lined up inside the box. Do the final container packing.
2. Lithium equipment in the use of Planetary reducer has a wide range of applications in lithium battery production equipment. The lithium battery production process involves a number of precision processes, requiring high precision, high efficiency and high reliability of the transmission system. Planetary gearboxes are indispensable components in lithium battery production equipment due to their superior performance and compact design.
Application Fields
Coater: Coater is one of the key equipments in the production of lithium batteries, which is used to evenly coat the active material on the electrode substrate. Planetary gearboxes are used to drive the coating rollers and feeding system to ensure uniformity of coating and thickness.
Roller Press: The roller press is used to achieve the required thickness and density of the electrode material by means of roller pressing. Planetary gearboxes are used to drive the roll press system, providing stable and highly accurate pressure control to ensure the quality of the electrode sheets.
Slicer: The slicer cuts the rolled electrode material into the required size. The planetary reducer is used to drive the cutting tool to ensure the precision and speed of cutting.
Winding machine: The winding machine is used to wind the electrode sheets into battery cells. The planetary reducer drives the winding shaft and tension control system to ensure the tightness and uniformity of the winding process and prevent the electrode material from loosening or wrinkling.
Spot Welder: The spot welder is used to weld the battery lugs, and the planetary reducer is used to drive the movement of the welding head to realize precise welding position control and ensure the welding quality and efficiency.
Assembly Line: In the lithium battery assembly process, planetary gearboxes are used to drive a variety of automation equipment, such as handling robots, conveyor belts and assembly robotic arms, to ensure the efficient operation of the entire production process.
4.After our engineers have confirmed the purchase of the model. We need to
pay attention to thefollowing things during the purchasing process:
1, motor mounting dimensions: motor shaft diameter and length, tab diameter and height, mounting hole distribution circle diameter.
2, reducer output part size: reducer shaft diameter and length, tab diameter and height, mounting hole distribution circle diameter. Ensure that there is no error in the dimensions when processing mechanical equipment.
3, the reduction ratio: through the rated speed of the motor and the final required speed of the reducer output, what is the reduction ratio of the reducer.
4, the external dimensions of the reducer in the mechanical equipment whether there is space interference. If there is interference, you have to choose other series.
For example: using Delta servo motor 400W, how to choose a reducer?
1, first look at the accuracy of the load, if the cost-effective then choose PLF060 series.
2, the maximum speed of 300RPM / MIN, then we have a reduction ratio is 3 than.
3, if the shape space mechanical interference, then choose PVFA060 series.
5.Oil on planetary gearboxes
This is a synthetic grease
It's not simply oil, and it's not all grease. It's a substance between oil and grease. A synthetic grease.
Its structure is similar to that of a bun, with oil on the inside and a protective film on the outside. This protective film of lipids is responsible for protecting the structure of the oil molecules from being destroyed. At the same time the lubricant outer contact surface. So the planetary reducer permanently does not need to change the oil maintenance.
