Automated machines use servomotors to perform complex motions.Planetary gearheads are frequently used in conjunction withservomotors to match the inertias, lower the speed, boost thetorque, and at the same time provide a mechanical interface forpulleys, cams, drums and other mechanical components. This papercovers topics such as: reasons why planetary gear systems arechosen for “servo applications”; what influences the planetaryservo gear positioning accuracy and repeatability; rating practicesto establish a “comparability” of different torques; and, anintroduction of a simple method to determine the required gearboxtorque rating for a servo-application based on motor torquedata.
