Dynamic Behavior of Planetary Gears

In planetary gear systems of high power density and high gear ratio, helical gears create undesirable tilting moments on the planet gears; therefore, spur gears are still preferred for planetary gears -- a special challenge with respect to noise. Specifically, the different behavior of planetary gears with sequential and symmetric gear mesh is explained in this paper.

KTR Introduces Hysteresis Coupling with Wear-Free Overload Protection

KTR Introduces Hysteresis Coupling with Wear-Free Overload Protection

KTR developed a coupling that transmits the torque contactless via magnetic forces limiting the torque free from wear in case of overload; in addition, the coupling can be applied as a brake. The hysteresis coupling MINEX-H is currently available in three sizes for overload torques from 1.2 to 6 Nm.
