As technology improves, mechanical designs have become sleaker and more compact. One exception has been electric motors. For decades, the shape and form factor of a motor has remained constant. ...
Yes, planetary gears can even be found in pencil sharpeners. This is an unusual situation because there is no sun gear in the system. Also, the carriage is input and the planets themselves are the...
Video-How to Get Multiple Speed Transmissions Using Planetary Gears
It's no secret that planetary gears have many uses. As a result, they are widely used to get various speed reductions (or increases). In this video, we will show how small changes can make large...
