How to Select the Right Planetary Gear Module

Planetary module selection should start with the application, not only with the reduction ratio. MATEX asks customers to define the application, specification requirements, size constraints, target price, order volume and project schedule.

Providing the key mechanical requirements at the beginning allows MATEX to evaluate a standard or customized module efficiently.

•       Application and required function.

•       Required reduction ratio and input/output speed.

•       Required torque and operating conditions.

•       Diameter, length and weight constraints.

•       Backlash / positioning accuracy requirement, when relevant.

•       Annual volume, target price and project schedule.

•       Consider multi-stage configurations when a single-stage ratio is insufficient.
