Epicyclic gears obtain name from their earliest app, that was the modelling of the actions of the planets in the heavens. Believing the planets, as everything in the heavens, to be perfect, they could just travel in perfect circles, but their motions as viewed from Earth cannot end up being reconciled with circular motion. At around 500 BC, the Greeks created the thought of epicycles, of circles travelling on the circular orbits. With this theory Claudius Ptolemy in the Almagest in 148 AD was able to predict planetary orbital paths. The Antikythera System, circa 80 BC, acquired gearing which was in a position to approximate the moon’s elliptical path through the heavens, and also to correct for the nine-yr precession of that route.[3] (The Greeks would have seen it much less elliptical, but instead as epicyclic motion.)
EP, a versatile and multi-use option, is not just another simple planetary gearbox. EP high-tech planetary reducer is normally a genuine integrated concept, including different functions combined together to offer a complete sub-assembly to the most demanding machines.
EP is the best high-tech servo-reducer, specially dedicated to designs requiring:
Superior output torsional stiffness
Ultra-substantial output radial stiffness and Tilting moment
Patented output bearing design
A high-tech planetary gear train, predicated on REDEX’s differential know-how
ISO 9409-1 outcome drive flange for installation pinions, pulleys, couplings, etc.
High input speeds
Superior acceleration and exceptional torque density
Minimum backlash (1 – 3 arc-minutes)
In-Line or correct angle arrangements
This versatile design helps it be possible for design engineers to find specific solutions to the most demanding applications.
Parallel shaft Gearmotors
Helical Single-Stage
The S Series style may make this gearmotor particularly effective for pump, blower applications and fan. To meet up the needs of consumers in these sectors, the S Series is also available in the ft . or flange versions and can be completed with an array of electric motors entirely manufactured by EP. Asynchronous motors both IEC and small (B-BE-BX/M-ME-MX), servomotors (BMD) and reluctance motors (BSR) could be in conjunction with the S Series: with the breadth of its portfolio, EP provides consumers with a superb balance of cost effectiveness, dynamics and efficiency.
The mixture of epicycle gear trains with a planet engaging both a sun gear and a ring gear is called a planetary gear train.[1][2] In this instance, the ring equipment is normally fixed and sunlight gear is driven.
