Applications include;. Specifications required — torque, backlash, ratio etc of the application must be taken into considerations. Environment — some environments may leave a gearbox exposed to dust, dirt or moisture so it is important to consider this factor and select a gearbox with the correct protection.
Space — planetary gearboxes are available in various sizes, if there is limited space available then smaller gearbox can be used. Our planetary gearboxes come from our supplier Micron, we are a leading distributor for their products within the UK.

We can supply Micron planetary gearboxes complete with a RediMount system to match your motor. We can even supply the gearbox and motor pre-assembled and tested. Planetary gearboxes can be powered by either electric motors , hydraulic motors or petrol or diesel combustion engines.
The load from the sun gear is distributed to several planetary gears which can either be used to drive an outer ring or a shaft or spindle. The central sun gear takes a high-speed, low-torque input. It drives several rotating external gears which increases the torque. The simple design is a highly efficient and effective way of transferring power from a motor to an output. At Lancereal, we offer three different types of planetary gearbox, a wheel drive, shaft output and spindle output.
In a wheel drive planetary gearbox, the sun gear drives the surrounding planetary gears which are fixed to a carrier. When the sun gear is driven, the planet gears rotate the outer ring gear. The wheels can be mounted over the housing of the gearbox.
By mounting the wheel directly to the gearbox, the size of the assembly can be minimised. Wheel drive planetary gears can deliver up to ,Nm torque. In shaft drive gearboxes, the sun gear drives the surrounding planetary gears which are housed in a rotating carrier. The ring gear is held stationary with the rotating carrier delivering drive to the shaft. The housing of the gearbox is fixed directly to the machine with the output being a rotating shaft.
