A planetary gearbox Planetary Gearbox A planetary gearbox is a compact gearbox that offers high power density and efficient power transmission. is a special type of gearbox comprising a central sun gear orbited by several rotating planet gears within a ring gear. This design allows for high power transmission Transmission The function of a vehicle transmission is to adjust the torque and speed, and to transfer engine power to the drive wheels. in a compact space. Thanks to the even distribution of load over several meshing teeth, planetary gears are ideal for applications involving high torques and limited installation space. Examples of such applications include wind turbines, industrial plants, commercial vehicles, and drive systems in the marine and aerospace industries.
