Custom Planetary Gearboxes For Renewable Energy
Utilizing planetary gears, wind turbines create electricity and help us move toward more sustainable energy solutions. A planetary gearbox is a gearbox where the input shaft and output shaft are aligned down the central axis of the gearbox. Planetary gears are used to transfer the greatest amount of torque in the most efficient way possible using torque density.
Canton Drop Forge can produce various parts and components for planetary gears. For wind power turbines, our team uses the latest in closed-die forging technology to create the various sprockets and gears that make up a planetary gearbox. Get high-quality planetary gears forged right here in the USA.
What Is a Planetary Gearbox?
A planetary gearbox is a mechanical gear system that utilizes multiple gears rotating around a central axis (or sun gear). These gears work to reduce the speed of an input shaft while increasing the torque of the output shaft. Known for their high efficiency and relatively compact size for the amount of torque density, planetary gearboxes are capable of transmitting large amounts of power in a small package.
