How Planetary Gears Work

The most significant advantage of planetary gearing is that the motor torque is multiplied and transmitted from a central sun gear through multiple orbiting planet gears contained within a large diameter ring gear. This gearing configuration maximizes the gear surface area handling the torque load, resulting in high torque capabilities and long life in relatively small inline form factor. Planetary gear motors are highly efficient due to the utilization of either spur or helical tooth profiles and are generally very effective at retaining lubricant making them an ideal solution for high performance applications.
