Helical Planetary Gearboxes--ZHAOWEO

The choice between helical and spur gears in planetary gearboxes may seem straightforward. Go with helical gears if you want the gearbox to run as smoothly and quietly as possible. Choose spur gears when you need to maximize the gearbox’s torque density or working life under extreme loads. These rules of thumb capture most of what you have to know when specifying traditional fixed axis gearboxes. Just size the gearbox properly, and the choice between helical and spur gears will often be noticeable for a given set of application requirements. With planetary gearboxes, however, the choice between helical and spur requires some additional thought.

ZHAOWEI supplies a variety of standard gear motors and custom DC Gear MotorS for every application. When a standard model does not meet your application, we have many capabilities to tailor our motor and gearbox combination to deliver your goals and expectations for your application. Our factory engineering department is available to evaluate your needs and give you a cost effective solution for your project with very quick turnaround time. In our latest white paper, we’ll help you understand the differences between helical and spur planetary gearboxes so you can decide which is best for your application.
