DC Planetary Gear Motor

Planetary gearboxes have the highest continuous torque capacity of ALL types of gearbox.

Their robust construction make the planetary gearboxes, in combination with DC motors, ideal for high torque, high performance applications.

The planetary motor design displaces the load over multiple planetary gears allowing it to better handle heavier loads than other motor styles. The planetary gears are synchronized allowing them to deliver consistent torque, providing a greater output capacity overall. The design of planetary gears is very efficient at retaining lubricant allowing these small motors to operate at higher speeds. For this reason, planetary gear motors perform best when high torque is needed.

Advantages of Planetary Gear Motors

Planetary gear motors are a smart choice for a variety of applications. Some of the advantages of choosing a planetary gear include:

Twirl’s PG series is a combination of planetary gearbox with brush DC motors, includes the frame sizes ranging from 16mm to 80mm, gear ratios ranging from 3.3:1 to 3736:1 and continuous torque of up to 800kg.cm. Developed for high-volume OEM applications, Brush DC Planetary Gearmotors will provide a cost-effective solution, never sacrificing quality of system performance.

The mechanical and performance characteristics for electric planetary gear motors can be specially customized to your project’s specific requirements.
