Working of planetary Gearbox| SMD Gearbox

Introduction

SMD planetary gearbox works in combination with any other gearboxes to run your application smoothly in the event of to fit into the given dimensions. The working of planetary gearbox is designed in a way that to achieve your automation precise process.

Planetary Gearset

PLANETARY GEARSET

Planetary gearbox also known as epicyclical gear is a set of two gear mounted on each other to revolve centre of one gear around the centre of other. The planetary gearbox mechanism works as our solar system. Centre gear which is also called sun gear rotates which drives the planet gears. The load from the sun gear is applied to multiple planetary parts, which can either be employed to run an outer ring or a spindle or shaft. Due to number of planetary gears the planetary gearbox can produce lot of torque resulting those planetary gears divide the load. The planetary gearbox also provides stability due to an even distribution of load and increased rotational stiffness. SMD planetary gear trains consist of spur gears.  

The main advantage of using a planetary gearbox in combination with a servo motor is that the torque is separated over 3 gears (the planet parts), and therefore – at the same dimensions – the torque is almost 3 times more than a typical gearbox.              

Planetary gearbox is used in applications where weight and space are issues and large number of reduction ratio and torque is needed. These type of gearbox is needed in the applications like construction equipment, defence equipment where large number of torque is needed to drive the wheels. The other applications like jewellery making machines, robotics industry, automation industry also use planetary gearbox. Planetary gear units are widely use because their principal advantage is they allow both the input and output axes to be concentric, thus providing a very compact gear arrangement.    

SMD gearbox is a well known gearbox solution provider in gearbox industry. We have a long list of satisfied customers. Planetary, Hollow rotary, Right angle, Harmonic and Cycloidal these are the servo gearboxes in which SMD gearbox deals. SMD provides integrated solution to its customer. We can avail above type of gearboxes in different wide range of dimensions and reduction ratios. We also provide integrated solution with combination of one or more type of gears. SMD has expert technocrats who helps you thoughout your automation proess to meet expected result.

SMD introduced two series in Planetary Gearbox that is with flange(SNDU Series) and with shaft(SNP Series). Both comes in wide range of reduction ratios and dimensions. SMD also introduced right angle gearbox which is again also one of the type of planetary gear with 90 degree output angle. It is very useful in applications where the demensions are very low. SMD also provides you an integrated solution by using more than its products to achive your automation process successfully.  

SMD is committed to developing its business through different growth strategies: expanding the geographical range of its operations through full-scale globalization, purposefully expanding its domains through the development of new business areas, and utilizing technology.

Let it turn...

Okay, after wearing a huge sheet of pig leather as a cape/ ghost costume, I got the idea that I should probably do something constructive with it.

This is what I had to work with: a 195 x 145 slab of book guts. It has the opportunity to be a record of someone’s artistic dreams. I think it should have a gorgeous cover to help it convince someone to use it.

I love gears and cogs. Like I f@*king love gears and cogs. You don’t understand this enough. They’re amazing and awesome. I went onto an online gear template generator and generated a couple of gears that would suit my needs.

This stuff is a must if you want to use the paper itself as a template on other things. It is repositionable if you only spray one side (say the paper). This also means you can easily peel the paper off when you’re done cutting stuff out. It also works on fabric and felt.

I cut the paper down to fit on my covers and spray glued it down.

I then took one of my awesomely massive death needles and jammed it through the centre of the cog. The front cover is actually 2 pieces of cardboard so I needed to stab through the bottom cover too. The centre is important.

It looks amazing when you’re popping out the inner cog. It took a small while to do this with a craft scalpel but I’m glad I took the time to be careful. This actually gives me an idea for a future book.

Ah darn, a little toooooo close to the edge. It’s not a problem as this is going to get glued down to the other cover. Still annoying but.

Didn’t want to waste cardboard, so I used the cut-out to cut out another cog.

And then I went and cut out the remaining 3 on a separate scrap of cardboard.

Test to make sure things look awesome (they do). I also stabbed through the centre of the med sized cog with the f@*koff needle.

This allowed me to centre the medium cog and make sure everything fit (it did). Always test stuff before you glue it down.

Cos once it’s glued down it ain’t going to be movable.

For the hinges this time I tried something different. After I glued the cloth over the spine of the book guts, I realised that I couldn’t have the hinges on the outside of the covers. I glued some printer paper to the underside of the hinges to make it so they weren’t so floppy. This made it much easier to position the covers as I was gluing them down.

After I sewed on the headbands (charcoal and lime) I used a scrap strip of paper to mark how wide the spine was. 

So I could make a hollow,

With the hollow on I started to build up the spine with ikea easel paper. I noticed that the bumps from where I sewed on the tapes were affecting the consistency of the spine I stopped and added some cardboard to pack in the valleys.

And then continued with the ikea paper until the spine was as thick as I wanted it. I then trimmed it to length.

For the end pages I could only find one piece of awesome green scrapbook paper at my undersupplied local spotlight so I had to get creative. I generated another gear with some spokes and modified it in photoshop.

I cut the scrapbook paper in half and spray glued the templates onto the back of them.

And cut it out. I felt so pleased with myself at this point.

Cos it looks fricking awesome.

Next I needed to cover the book in my new sheet of leather. I hope this gives you some idea of how big that sheet of leather is. That is barely half of it in the photo.

I had an idea and found the security torque screw-set that I have.

And had a few practices on some damp leather.

before impressing a single cog shape on the top of the spine.

All that was left was to glue the end pages to the covers. I slipped a piece of printer paper under the end paper and slathered it with glue before dropping the cover onto it.

This was the first time I’ve completed a book in a single day. I got so into it and things were going so well. I had heaps of fun making this. 

Thanks for reading
