Gear Sets for Industrial Vehicles
Ever-Power new planetary reducers hire a floating sun equipment rather than a set position one.
The saying ”There’s nothing new under the sun’ certainly pertains to planetary reducers. And, while floating sunlight gears have already been around a long time, some engineers might not become aware of the huge benefits this unusual gear design can offer.
Traditionally, planetary reducers have used a set sun gear, where the centre gear is mounted on or machined into the shaft. When this fixed sun gear revolves, it turns the planet gears to create motion and/or power. Ever-Power new planetary reducers, however, are employing a floating sun equipment rather than a fixed position sun gear.
Why a floating sunlight gear? ‘In the planetary idea, the sun is the driver, or pinion, in the gear set,’Ever-Power design engineer Scott Hulstein said. ‘Because sunlight gear is in constant connection with the planets, it’s important that it’s flawlessly centred among the three planets in order to provide equal load posting among itself and all three planets.’
Due to normal manufacturing sun planet gear tolerances however, a sun equipment which is securely set on a shaft will intermittently have more load on one planet equipment than on another gear Hulstein explained. ‘By enabling the sun gear to float, it centres itself among the three planets and generates constant, equal load sharing.’
Equal load sharing is just one of the benefits of this design. The floating sunlight gear provides ‘true involute action,’ according to Hulstein. True involute action happens when the rolling movement between your mating gears is as complete as feasible. The advantage of this comprehensive meshing of gears is longer reducer life, since less internal gear slippage means fewer damaged gear teeth.
That does mean lower noise levels. When the sun gear is allowed to completely roll in to the planet gears, there’s less ‘rattling’ as one’s teeth mesh. In effect, the Ever-Power product has ‘designed out’ the apparatus mesh noise by allowing sunlight equipment to float into place.
So why make use of a set sun gear at almost all? ‘Fixed sun gears are often used in true servo applications,’ Greg Pennings, Ever-Power Customer Advocate, explained. ‘A fixed sun gear is necessary when precise positioning and low backlash are an intrinsic part of the program.’ Ever-Power engineers, nevertheless, were less concerned with low backlash and more interested with higher torque and/or lower noise applications.
Our planetary reducers with floating sun gears were made to contend with parallel shaft reducers, where backlash was less critical,’ Pennings said.
Utilizing the floating sun equipment concept, the Ever-Power planetary reducers have the ability to exceed the torque rankings of similar sized and bigger sized parallel shaft reducers, and yet maintain a lower noise levels.
Sun, Ring and Planet
The most basic kind of planetary gearset is demonstrated in the figures above. The figure at left shows a three-dimensional watch while the figure at right offers a cross-section. In this geartrain, inputs and output can be extracted from the carrier, ring and sun gears, and just the planet experiences epicyclic motion. That is the the majority of common kind of planetary gearset (apart from the differential) and it finds application in swiftness reducers and automatic transmissions. If you take aside a cordless drill, you’ll probably find this kind of planetary gearset directly behind the drill chuck.

Two Suns, Two Planets
The gearset shown above has two sunlight gears, and the two planet gears (the yellow gears) rotate as an individual unit. Sunlight gears (green and brown) can rotate independently of one another. The inputs and result can be selected from either sun gear and/or the carrier. Very high speed reductions can be achieved with this unit, nonetheless it can have problems with low efficiency if not really designed correctly.

Purple sun input – red sun fixed
The animations above show the ‘two suns – two planets’ gearset with one sun as input and the other sunlight fixed. Remember that the carrier rotates clockwise in the animation at remaining and counterclockwise in the computer animation at right – even though sunlight rotates counterclockwise in both cases.
The Differential
The gearset proven above is different from the preceding gearsets for the reason that it is composed of miter gears rather than spur (or helical) gears. The ‘sun’ gears are the ones that do not go through the epicyclic motion experienced by the earth. And the differential can be utilized to measure the difference in speed between two shafts for the purpose of synchronization. In addition, the differential is frequently used in auto drive trains to overcome the difference in wheel velocity when a car goes around a corner.
