We have planetary gear motors and parallel gear motors
The main driving structure of the planetary gear reducer is: planetary gear, sun gear, outer gear ring, and planetary carrier.
The planetary reducer is due to structural reasons. Compared to other reducers, planetary reducers have the characteristics of high rigidity, high accuracy, and good torque/volume ratio for driving. Due to these characteristics, most planetary reducers are installed on stepper and servo motors to reduce speed, increase torque, and match inertia.
The structure of a parallel gear reducer consists of multi-level gear meshing.
Parallel gear reducers are also driven by multi-stage gear meshing, and the drive is good. In general, the drive efficiency of planetary gear reducers is higher than that of parallel gear reducers! The specifications between the two are different, and the driving efficiency of micro gear reduction motors and micro planetary gear reducers will be higher; However, the main driving method still depends on the usage scenario and usage method.
