Servo motor Planetary gearbox systems PL120

A planetary gearbox, also known as an epicyclic gearbox is a sophisticated mechanical system. It’s named for its internal gear arrangement, which resembles planets orbiting a sun

PL120 Planetary Gearbox Series:

The PL120 likely refers to a frame size or series designation within a manufacturer’s range of planetary gearboxes. Where is typically indicates a size often related to the output flange diameter or center distance in millimeters.

Specifications for a PL120 Planetary Gearbox:

• Frame Size: ~120 mm (e.g., output flange size of around Ø115 mm).
• Nominal Output Torque: Ranges vary significantly based on the number of stages (gear ratios) and specific design, but can be from 255 N.m to 345 N.m for single-stage, and higher for multi-stage.
• Gear Ratios: Available in a wide range, typically:
  • 1-Stage: 3:1, 4:1, 5:1, 6:1, 7:1, 8:1, 10:1
  • 2-Stage: 12:1, 15:1, 16:1, 20:1, 25:1, 30:1, 35:1, 40:1, 50:1, 64:1
  • 3-Stage: Even higher ratios up to 512:1 or more.
