Engineers at IMS Gear Planetary Gears Inc., with U.S. headquarters in Virginia Beach (www.imsgear.com), have designed a range of modular planetary gears that give OEMs and designers a choice of over ...

For applications with inflexible torque demand, sometimes designers specify oversized and less efficient gearsets. Other times, manufacturing engineers sacrifice torque in their designs to minimize ...

There was a time when print-in-place moving parts were a curiosity, but [Tomek] shows that things are now at a point where a hand-cranked turbine blower with integrated planetary gears can be entirely ...

ELECTRONICS: Austrian bearing specialist NKE introduces modular bearing systems for planetary gears in wind turbine gearboxes. The new bearing assemblies offer the advantages of a standardisation of ...

Both transmissions have a planetary gear design and are ready for up to 400 Nm of input torque. The rear coaxial unit weighs just 16 kg and has an integrated parking lock for very high loads.
