Applications for Planetary Epicyclic Drives

Reducer:

Epicyclic		Simple
Torque Arm Sleeve (2) Fixed		Case (1) Fixed
K = +2 to +260	K = -1 to -259	p = +0.500 to +0.996

As an Epicyclic reducer, the method of holding the torque arm sleeve (2) permits:

• Overload protection by spring reaction arm
• Stabilized torque peaks by means of a friction torque limiter
• Possibility to adjust the position of the output shaft (3) by intermittently moving and braking the torque arm sleeve (2)
• Measurement of the machine torque

Important:  The limitation or control of torques is most efficient when done close to the machine torque requirement.

Increaser:

Epicyclic		Simple
Torque Arm Sleeve (2) Fixed		Case (1) Fixed
K = +2 to +15	K = -1 to -14	p = +2.000 to +1.004

Other Applications:

• Two or More Speeds
• Phase-Shifting
• Precise Speed Adjustment
• Creation of a Relative Speed While Running
• Cyclic Synchronization of Two Speeds
• Timing Movements
• Balance Speed & Torque
