We supply Planetary Gearboxes, which are compact, high-torque transmission systems consisting of a central sun gear, multiple planet gears, and an outer ring gear. The planet gears rotate around the sun gear while simultaneously engaging with the ring gear, ensuring smooth and efficient power transmission.
Planetary gearboxes are known for their high load-carrying capacity, compact design, high efficiency, and durability, making them ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications.

FAQs – planetary gearbox
What is the power range of the planetary gearbox?
Speedo Gear planetary gearboxes are available in a power range from 0.37 kW to 50 kW. The correct model depends on motor power, load, reduction ratio, operating hours and application conditions.
What reduction ratios are available?
Planetary gearboxes are available with reduction ratios ranging from 7:1 to 400:1. The selected ratio determines the output speed produced from the motor input speed.
Which mounting arrangements are available?
Horizontal foot-mounted and vertical flange-mounted configurations are available. The mounting position should be confirmed during selection because it can affect lubrication, installation and shaft arrangement.
Where are planetary gearboxes used?
They are used in conveyors, agitators, cranes, steel plants, cement plants, sugar plants, chemical equipment, material-handling systems, machine tools, bottling machinery and other heavy industrial applications.
What information is required for gearbox selection?
Provide motor power, input speed, required output speed, load or torque, operating hours, mounting position, driven equipment and working conditions.
How is planetary gearbox output speed calculated?
Divide the motor input speed by the gearbox reduction ratio. For example, a 1,440 RPM motor with a 20:1 gearbox ratio provides a theoretical output speed of approximately 72 RPM.
Can a planetary gearbox be customized?
Configuration may be selected according to motor power, ratio, mounting position and load requirements. Special requirements should be reviewed by the manufacturer before confirming the gearbox.
