The Best Balanced Planetary Ratio from a Torque Density Point of View
Posted Jul 03 2008
Filed under: Gearhead Planetary Gears Tech Article
By Dr. Gerhard G. Antony / Neugart USA LP

What ratio is the optimal for a certain application depends on the motor and application parameters such as required torque, rpm and, inertial match. For easier computation it is preferred that the planetary gearbox ratio is an exact integer ( 3, 4, 6 ..... ). Since we are so used to the decimal system, one frequently is tempted to use 10:1 even though this has no practical advantaged for the computer / servo / motion controller. Actually, as we will see, 10:1 or higher ratios are the weakest; using the least "balanced" size gears and hence has the lowest torque rating.

Neugart's Patented Precision Clamping System is Now Standard in All Neugart Gearheads
Filed under:
Run-out free precision mounting for today's high speed servo motors utilizing a patented clamping arrangement, a feature available only from Neugart.
The patented Precision Clamping System "PCS" is now a standard in all Neugart gearheads. Modern servo- motors can run at speeds of 600orpm or even 10000rpm; hence a reliable and run-out free clamping of the motor shaft to the input pinion is important for a smooth, vibration free operation.
Unlike the current mainstream designs using for clamping slit hollow shafts, or in some cases just a cumbersome radial setscrew, the patented Neugart PCS has 5 slots machined into the hollow clamping portion of the pinion, not cut all-the way through, leaving an intact circular rim which facilitates a uniform deformation of the hollow shaft during the clamping process.
