Planetary reducer factory：where are planetary gear reducers used?- Shanghai SGR Heavy Industry Machinery Co., Ltd.

As a professional planetary gear reducer manufacturer, when SGR connects with customers, customers are often more concerned about the specific application cases of SGR planetary gearbox. In fact, the planetary gear reducers manufactured by SGR have been widely used in small dam-type hydropower stations, geological surveys, coating machines, horizontal directional drills, crushers and other industrial and engineering machinery and equipment, contributing to the development of social industry.

From the general perspective of the mechanical transmission industry, gear reducers (mainly planetary gear reducers) are common mechanical transmission devices with many advantages, such as compact design, high torque output, high efficiency and low noise, and are therefore widely used in various industrial and commercial applications.

In general, the applications of planetary gear reducers in different fields are as follows:

(1) Industrial field

In industrial crushers and shredders, there are always planetary gear reducers. Gear reducers are used as the power device for the crushing blades.

In industrial production line equipment, planetary gear reducers are often used in industrial automation equipment such as conveyor belts, robotic arms, loading and unloading equipment to provide precise motion control and high torque output.

(2) Mechanical field

In food processing machinery,planetary gear reducers are used in mixers, blenders, stirring equipment, etc. to ensure uniformity of the mixing and stirring process.

In printing and packaging equipment, planetary gear reducers are often used in printing machines, packaging machines, labeling machines and other equipment to achieve precise positioning and control of paper or packaging materials.

Another mechanical device that need to use the planetary gear reducer is the horizontal directional drilling rig. A horizontal directional drilling rig is a kind of construction machinery that lays underground flexible pipelines without excavating the ground surface. The planetary gear reducer is the power transmission component in the push-pull and rotation mechanism of the horizontal directional drilling rig.

Among the planetary gear reducers, there is a kind of planetary gear reducer for rotation. The planetary gear reducer for rotation is used in combination with a slewing support and is used as the power of the slewing support in rotating occasions such as lifting machinery and construction tower cranes.

Planetary gear reducers are also very popular in mud pumps.A mud pump is a machine that delivers mud or water or other flushing fluids into the borehole during the drilling process. Planetary gear reducers are generally used as the power unit of mud pumps.

(3) Automobile industry

Planetary gear reducers plan important roles in automotive transmission system.The planetary gear reducers are widely used in automotive transmissions, differentials, and motor drive systems of electric vehicles to provide different speed and torque outputs.

In the steering wheel system of a car, the planetary gear reducer is used to achieve precise control of the steering wheel.

(4) Solar and wind energy industries

In solar tracking system, planetary gearbox is used for solar photovoltaic panels to ensure that the panels are always facing the sun to maximize energy collection.

Planetary gear reducers are also used in the gearbox of a wind turbine to convert the rotational speed of the wind rotor to a speed suitable for the generator.

(5) Medical equipment

You may don’t know that planetary gear reducers are also used in surgical Equipment. In surgical robots and other medical devices, planetary gear reducers are used to achieve precise motion control and manipulation to support minimally invasive surgery and precision medical procedures.

(6)Power tools

Power tools,such as electric drills, electric hammers and electric screwdrivers also need to use planetary gear reducers.Planetary gear reducers are used in various power tools to provide high torque and efficient power transmission, making the tools more powerful.

In general, planetary gear reducers are widely used in various fields. Their compact design, efficient performance and reliability make them an ideal choice for many mechanical and industrial applications. From industrial automation to the automotive industry, solar and wind energy industries, planetary gear reducers play a key role in supporting precise control and efficient power transmission in various applications.(Author: SGR, Angie Zhang)
