28 JulA Brief Introduction to the Planetary Speed Reducer

The planetary reducer is an industrial product which has a wide range of applications. Its property can compare beauty with other military speed reducers, but its price is equal to the price of the common industrial goods. Therefore, it is very popular in a lot of industrial fields.

In the passage some basic concepts of this speed reducer will be introduced in order to help people get a general idea quickly. What comes first is about its series. It refers to the series of the planetary wheel. Sometimes, because a set of planetary wheels can not meet the relatively big transmission ratio, there is need to increase one or two sets of the wheels in order to satisfy the requirement of the transmission ratio. With the increase of the gears, the length of this speed reducer will correspondingly be increased and the efficiency will be reduced to some degree. The next concept is about backlash. The so-called backlash means a tiny angular displacement. The unit for this backlash is “minute”, which means sixtieth of one degree. Back clearance is another name.

Since people get some ideas about this speed reducer, it is turn to talk about its functions and features. As far as we know, the main transmission structure of the planetary speed reducer includes planetary wheel, sun wheel and outer ring. Compared with other speed reducers, the planetary reducers are characterized by the following features, such as high rigidity, high accuracy, and high transmission efficiency, high ratio of twisting moment and cubage and maintenance for life. On basis of these features, most of the planetary reducers are installed on the stepper motor and actuating motor.

Their main functions are to reduce the rotating speed and increase the torquemoment. They also play an important role in matching the inertia. What’s more, it has also other unique features besides for the above-mentioned merits. Its cubage is quite small, its weight is light, its loading capacity is high, its service life is long and its operation is very stable without loud noise. Owing to its different features, it is indeed very popular in different fields, such as engineering plant, metallurgy, mine, petrochemical industry, construction machinery, light industry, automobile, ship and weapon. The temperature of this reducer ranges from -25 to 100 Celsius degrees. At the same time, the working temperature can be changed through changing the lubricating grease. All in all, this reducer is very popular in the industry.

28 JulOil Seals

In terms of an oil seal, there are a lot of different types. Depending on how they are constructed, U-ring oil seals as well as block vee rings can be used as a rod seal, a piston seal or even a symmetric seal. U-rings and block vee rings are called single acting seals, also known as unidirectional seals, and have to be mounted back to back in cylinder applications that are double acting. A Block Vee seal is really more compact and performs better under high pressure conditions than a U ring does. V ring seals are made of all rubber and are primarily used to get rid of dirt and other types of contaminants. V rings are stretched over a shaft and sealed against the side of housing or another type of machine component. Besides, more oil seals are introduced as there are several different kinds of clearance seals, also known as labyrinth seals. The one feature they all share with each other is that they all work on a principle of positive clearance. This means that there isn’t any rubbing that occurs against the shaft or the housing.

A lot of labyrinth seals are made up of a rotor, which rotates, and a stator, which is static, piece with a radial gap between the two pieces. The gap has to be bigger than the radial clearance of the bearing that is being sealed. Also, the operating speeds as well as the temperature have to be considered when utilizing a labyrinth seal. These kinds of seals typically don’t perform very well at lower operating speeds. Another type of labyrinth seal is a laminar sealing ring, which utilizes a series of flat metal rings, similar to washers, of different diameters to make a labyrinth seal. Bearing isolators are a dynamic kind of seal that is designed to keep bearings protected from outside elements. They are also made up of a rotor, a rotating piece, and a stator, or static member. Some bearing isolators are made out of labyrinth construction but others use O rings or other kinds of positive seals.
