The high precision and efficiency of our motors ensure that all types of applications operate at the highest level. Some of our largest customers incorporate our planetary gear motors into industrial label printing machines, tactical robotics, vinyl cutting machines, and laser measuring apparatuses. ISL’s planetary gear motors are most commonly used in robotic and industrial automation applications. In planetary gear systems the gear lubrication tends to stay within the teeth of the gears whereas, with spur gear systems, the lubrication tends to disperse from the gears at higher speeds. The ability to add multiple stages and have high gear reduction ratios allows spur gear motors to handle higher loads if needed. As the spur gear motor’s speed increases, it will produce a fair amount of noise without the proper internal lubrication. The less complex construction of a spur gear head results in them not being able to hold as much of a load as their planetary counterpart. As mentioned above, the multiple contact points between the gears of a planetary gear head are the reason for its effectiveness in these conditions. When it comes to torque and speed, a planetary gear motor is more effective in high speed, high torque applications. The two main parameters that are commonly associated with gear motors are torque and speed. Submit your Gear Motor requirements today and let us help make your application more efficient. Over the years ISL has manufactured a variety of different spur gear motors for a variety of applications. This means that any load is held entirely by a single point of contact between two gears.Ī spur gear motor is a cost effective solution, suited for low torque and low RPM applications such as an automated paper towel dispenser. Spur gearheads have a single contact point at any time. Adding multiple gear stages within the gear head produces larger reduction ratios resulting in even lower output speed and higher output torque. The tooth pitch of the gears is critical in determining the final output speed and torque of the gear motor. The meshing of the smaller gears with the larger gears reduces rpm transforming it into torque. The gears are mounted on parallel shafts but offset from one another. Let us help you choose the right planetary gear motor for your application, discuss your requirements with an engineer today! Spur Gear Head ConstructionĪ spur gear head’s construction consists of larger gears that mesh with smaller gears. Due to their versatility, planetary gear motors are also excellent choices for less demanding applications like articulating television mounts. The ability to distribute the load over multiple contact points makes planetary gear motors optimal for high torque, high RPM applications like industrial machinery. Since the internal sun gear meshes with multiple outer gears at once, planetary gear motors are able to sustain higher loads. The outer ring is fixed and incorporated in the motor housing. The planetary/satellite gears mesh with an outer ring to guide and hold them in place. The sun gear drives multiple outer gears known as planetary/satellite gears. They have an internal gear, called the sun gear. The gears inside of a planetary gear head have a unique method of meshing together. Gear Motor Selection Guide Planetary Gear Head Construction As an industry leader in gear motors, ISL offers both our brushed and brushless DC motors with our planetary and spur gear heads. ISL tailors each gear motor specifically to meet our customer’s application requirements. ISL Products has an extensive history designing and manufacturing both planetary gear motors and spur gear motors. Both gear heads have their own unique advantages and disadvantages, based on the intended usage and requirements. When trying to decide which gear motor is best suited for your application, there are a few key aspects to keep in mind. Our unique and collaborative approach ensures that our gear motors work optimally in your specific application. ISL Products is experienced in designing and manufacturing both Planetary Gear Motors and Spur Gear Motors. Planetary and Spur gear motors are the two most common types of gear motors used in industrial applications.
