Solar Gearbox

Solar Gearbox

Solar gearboxes are one of the advanced types of gearboxes used in power transmission systems for achieving high precision, large conversion ratios, and optimal performance. Due to their unique design and special features, they have extensive applications especially in precision and heavy industries. The main structure of a solar gearbox includes three main parts: the sun gear, planetary gears, and ring gears. The sun gear is located in the center, and the planetary gears revolve around it. This design allows the gearbox to provide high conversion ratios and high torques without increasing its volume and weight.

 The advantages of solar gearboxes include high precision, ability to withstand heavy loads, and compact design. These gearboxes can provide very high conversion ratios and occupy less space due to their compact structure. Moreover, due to the reduction of internal friction, solar gearboxes are highly efficient and offer smooth and silent operation.
