Flanged Output Drives

A flanged output drives planetary gearbox is a type of planetary gearbox that has a flanged output shaft. This allows the gearbox to be easily connected to other components, such as pinion gears, pulleys, and rotary index tables. Flanged output drives planetary gearboxes are ideal for applications where space is limited and where the power flow needs to be redirected.

The working principle of a flanged output drives planetary gearbox is the same as that of any other planetary gearbox. The input shaft drives a sun gear, which in turn drives a series of planetary gears. The planetary gears are held in a carrier, which is also driven by the sun gear. The carrier is then connected to the output shaft, which transmits the power from the gearbox to the load.

Flanged output drives planetary gearboxes are available in a variety of sizes and configurations. The most common type of flanged output drive is the face flange. This type of flange is mounted directly on the output shaft of the gearbox. Other types of flanges include the hub flange and the spigot flange.
