Precision Planetary Gearheads
The primary reason to employ a gearhead is that it creates it possible to regulate a huge load inertia with a comparatively small motor inertia. Without the gearhead, acceleration or velocity control of the strain would require that the electric motor torque, and thus current, would need to be as many times increased as the lowering ratio which can be used. Moog offers an array of windings in each frame size that, coupled with a selection of reduction ratios, offers an assortment of solution to outcome requirements. Each combination of electric motor and gearhead offers different advantages.

The Planetary (Epicyclical) Gear System as the “System of Choice” for Servo Gearheads
Frequent misconceptions regarding planetary gears systems involve backlash: Planetary systems are used for servo gearheads due to their inherent low backlash; low backlash is normally the main characteristic requirement for a servo gearboxes; backlash is certainly a way of measuring the accuracy of the planetary gearbox.
The truth is, fixed-axis, standard, “spur” gear arrangement systems can be designed and developed only as easily for low backlash requirements. Furthermore, low backlash isn’t an absolute requirement of servo-based automation applications. A moderately low backlash is advisable (in applications with high start/stop, frontward/reverse cycles) to avoid interior shock loads in the apparatus mesh. Having said that, with today’s high-image resolution motor-feedback products and associated movement controllers it is simple to compensate for backlash anytime there exists a transform in the rotation or torque-load direction.
If, for the moment, we discount backlash, then what are the reasons for selecting a even more expensive, seemingly more complex planetary systems for servo gearheads? What advantages do planetary gears present?
High Torque Density: Small Design
An important requirement for automation applications is huge torque capability in a compact and light bundle. This substantial torque density requirement (a high torque/quantity or torque/excess weight ratio) is important for automation applications with changing great dynamic loads to avoid additional system inertia.
Depending upon the number of planets, planetary devices distribute the transferred torque through multiple gear mesh points. This means a planetary equipment with declare three planets can transfer 3 x the torque of an identical sized fixed axis “typical” spur gear system
Rotational Stiffness/Elasticity
Excessive rotational (torsional) stiffness, or minimized elastic windup, is very important to applications with elevated positioning accuracy and repeatability requirements; especially under fluctuating loading circumstances. The load distribution unto multiple equipment mesh points implies that the load is reinforced by N contacts (where N = quantity of planet gears) consequently raising the torsional stiffness of the gearbox by issue N. This implies it noticeably lowers the lost motion compared to a similar size standard gearbox; which is what’s desired.
Low Inertia
Added inertia results within an additional torque/energy requirement for both acceleration and deceleration. The smaller gears in planetary program cause lower inertia. In comparison to a same torque score standard gearbox, it is a fair approximation to say that the planetary gearbox inertia can be smaller by the sq . of the amount of planets. Once again, this advantage can be rooted in the distribution or “branching” of the load into multiple gear mesh locations.
High Speeds
Contemporary servomotors run at huge rpm’s, hence a servo gearbox must be able to operate in a trusted manner at high suggestions speeds. For servomotors, 3,000 rpm is pretty much the standard, and in fact speeds are frequently increasing so as to optimize, increasingly complex application requirements. Servomotors running at speeds more than 10,000 rpm are no
t unusual. From a score viewpoint, with increased acceleration the energy density of the electric motor increases proportionally with no real size enhance of the engine or electronic drive. Therefore, the amp rating remains about the same while only the voltage should be increased. An important factor is with regards to the lubrication at large operating speeds. Set axis spur gears will exhibit lubrication “starvation” and quickly fail if jogging at high speeds as the lubricant can be slung away. Only particular means such as high-priced pressurized forced lubrication devices can solve this problem. Grease lubrication is normally impractical because of its “tunneling effect,” in which the grease, over time, is pushed aside and cannot stream back to the mesh.
In planetary systems the lubricant cannot escape. It is continuously redistributed, “pushed and pulled” or “mixed” into the equipment contacts, ensuring safe lubrication practically in virtually any mounting placement and at any quickness. Furthermore, planetary gearboxes can be grease lubricated. This feature can be inherent in planetary gearing due to the relative action between different gears creating the arrangement.
THE VERY BEST ‘Balanced’ Planetary Ratio from a Torque Density Viewpoint
For less complicated computation, it is desired that the planetary gearbox ratio can be an precise integer (3, 4, 6…). Since we are very much accustomed to the decimal system, we have a tendency to use 10:1 despite the fact that it has no practical advantages for the computer/servo/motion controller. Essentially, as we will see, 10:1 or higher ratios are the weakest, using minimal “balanced” size gears, and therefore have the cheapest torque rating.
This article addresses simple planetary gear arrangements, meaning all gears are engaging in the same plane. The vast majority of the epicyclical gears found in servo applications happen to be of the simple planetary design. Physique 2a illustrates a cross-section of this sort of a planetary gear arrangement using its central sun equipment, multiple planets (3), and the ring gear. This is of the ratio of a planetary gearbox displayed in the number is obtained immediately from the unique kinematics of the machine. It is obvious a 2:1 ratio isn’t possible in a simple planetary gear system, since to satisfy the prior equation for a ratio of 2:1, sunlight gear would need to possess the same diameter as the ring equipment. Figure 2b shows sunlight gear size for different ratios. With increased ratio the sun gear size (size) is decreasing.
Since gear size influences loadability, the ratio is a solid and direct impact to the torque ranking. Figure 3a reveals the gears in a 3:1, 4:1, and 10:1 basic system. At 3:1 ratio, sunlight gear is huge and the planets will be small. The planets are becoming “thin walled”, limiting the space for the planet bearings and carrier pins, hence limiting the loadability. The 4:1 ratio is normally a well-well-balanced ratio, with sunshine and planets getting the same size. 5:1 and 6:1 ratios still yield rather good balanced equipment sizes between planets and sun. With higher ratios approaching 10:1, the small sun gear becomes a solid limiting point for the transferable torque. Simple planetary models with 10:1 ratios have very small sun gears, which sharply limits torque rating.
How Positioning Precision and Repeatability is Affected by the Precision and Quality Course of the Servo Gearhead
As previously mentioned, this is a general misconception that the backlash of a gearbox is a measure of the quality or precision. The fact is that the backlash features practically nothing to do with the product quality or accuracy of a gear. Only the regularity of the backlash can be considered, up to certain level, a form of measure of gear top quality. From the application point of view the relevant query is, “What gear properties are influencing the precision of the motion?”
Positioning precision is a way of measuring how precise a desired posture is reached. In a shut loop system the primary determining/influencing elements of the positioning accuracy are the accuracy and image resolution of the feedback unit and where the posture is measured. If the position can be measured at the ultimate result of the actuator, the effect of the mechanical pieces could be practically eliminated. (Immediate position measurement is utilized mainly in high accuracy applications such as machine equipment). In applications with a lower positioning accuracy requirement, the feedback signal is made by a feedback devise (resolver, encoder) in the motor. In this instance auxiliary mechanical components mounted on the motor like a gearbox, couplings, pulleys, belts, etc. will impact the positioning accuracy.
