Planetary gear motors

Precise and high-performance

A standardized planetary gear motor is ideal for all applications that require low output speeds and high torque. A DC motor with planetary gear is compact and powerful in all series. Optionally, every planetary gear motor can be expanded with Hall-IC and other components.

New in the product catalog | BLDC motor with new planetary gear

In the new P042066 series, a BLDC motor is equipped with a new planetary gear in two variants. Both variants have double ball bearings and reinforced planetary gears.

Technical data of the LN planetary gear

  • Voltage: 24 VDC
  • Rotation speed: 11 to 800 rpm
  • Torque: 0.5 to 13.2 Nm
  • Gear with two ball-bearings and reinforced planetary gears
  • A variant with helical-toothed plastic gears in the first stage

Advantages of this LN planetary gear

  • High torques
  • high efficiency
  • Low gear backlash
  • Low noise in the variant with plastic gears

Areas of application

  • In high-precision applications that require low gear back lash, e.g. in the positioning of laser optics, in mechanical processing devices or in order picking systems.
  • The variant with plastic planetary gears is mainly used in noise-sensitive applications.

Why does a manufacturer need this LN planetary gear?

  • LN planetary gears are technically far superior to conventional planetary gears in all areas. Especially when it is controlled electronically, as the data can be utilized much more precisely.
  • An LN planetary gearbox largely eliminates the weaknesses of a conventional planetary gearbox.

Differences between the LN planetary gear and conventional planetary gears

LN planetary gear with double ball bearings and stronger planetary gears

Double ball bearing

  • Withstands radial forces better, e.g. mounted belt pulley.
  • Protects the planetary gears from overload
  • Significantly longer service life
  • Higher power transmission possible

Reinforced planetary gears

  • Improved force distribution due to wider contact surfaces
LN planetary gear with plastic wheels

Plastic gears in the first stage

The complex design of a planetary gear motor

The exploded view shows the complex design of a planetary gear motor with a three-stage gear. Each gear stage reduces the rotation speed and increases the torque. The high torque is distributed over several gear wheels. The gears in the first stage are usually made of plastic to reduce noise. The first stage rotates very quickly - most DC motors at 5000-9000 rpm. The other gears are made of plastic or steel. If a different gear ratio is required, we can easily equip the DC motor with a different gear to suit your application.

A planetary gear motor can be louder than a DC motor with a different type of gearbox. Any noise that occurs can be additionally insulated by installing helical gears. We know how different noise emissions are from cars, for example: forward gears are usually helical and quiet, while reverse gears are usually straight and make a characteristic whining noise.

Unfortunately, it is often neglected that simply using a long-life grease helps a planetary gear motor to be very reliable and durable.

Planetary gear motor | Your questions & answers

A motor characteristic curve is a diagram that shows the behavior of a planetary gear motor based on current consumption, rotation speed and torque.

Yes, almost all of our control systems are PLC-compatible.

A Hall-IC is a sensor that detects magnetic fields. It is often used in conjunction with a planetary gear motor to determine rotation speed and rotation direction.

Interesting facts from the press

How does the planetary gear of an automatic gearshift in a vehicle work?

Planetary gears, also known as planetary gears, are machine components that are blessed with some very advantageous attributes and therefore shine in all kinds of applications. They function as distributor or summation gears, as very compact transmission stages and as the core of classic automatic transmissions.
