Gear Sets for Commercial Vehicles
Ever-Power new planetary reducers employ a floating sun equipment rather than a set position one.
The word ”There’s nothing new beneath the sun’ certainly pertains to planetary reducers. And, while floating sunlight gears have been around quite a while, some engineers might not end up being aware 
of the benefits this unusual gear design can offer.
Traditionally, planetary reducers possess used a set sun gear, where the centre gear is mounted on or machined into the shaft. When this set sun equipment revolves, it turns the planet gears to create motion and/or power. Ever-Power new planetary reducers, however, are employing a floating sun equipment rather than a set position sun gear.
Why a floating sunlight gear? ‘In the planetary idea, the sun may be the driver, or pinion, in the gear set,’Ever-Power style engineer Scott Hulstein stated. ‘Because the sun gear is in constant contact with the planets, it’s important that it is perfectly centred among the three planets in order to provide equal load posting among itself and all three planets.’
Because of normal manufacturing tolerances nevertheless, a sun equipment which is securely set upon a shaft will intermittently have more load on one planet gear than on another gear Hulstein explained. ‘By permitting the sun equipment to float, it centres itself among the three planets and creates constant, equal load sharing.’
Equal load sharing is just one of the benefits of this design. The floating sun gear provides ‘true involute action,’ according to Hulstein. Accurate involute action takes place when the rolling motion between your mating gears is really as complete as possible. The advantage of this sun planet gear finish meshing of gears is usually longer reducer lifestyle, since less internal gear slippage means fewer damaged gear teeth.
That does mean lower noise levels. When sunlight gear is allowed to completely roll into the planet gears, there’s less ‘rattling’ as one’s teeth mesh. In effect, the Ever-Power product provides ‘designed out’ the apparatus mesh noise by allowing sunlight gear to float into place.
So why use a set sun gear at almost all? ‘Fixed sun gears tend to be used in true servo applications,’ Greg Pennings, Ever-Power Customer Advocate, explained. ‘A set sun gear is essential when exact positioning and low backlash are an intrinsic part of the app.’ Ever-Power engineers, nevertheless, were less worried about low backlash and more interested with higher torque and/or lower noise applications.
Our planetary reducers with floating sun gears were made to compete with parallel shaft reducers, where backlash was less critical,’ Pennings said.
Utilizing the floating sun gear concept, the Ever-Power planetary reducers are able to exceed the torque ratings of similar sized and bigger sized parallel shaft reducers, and yet maintain a lower noise levels.
Sun, Ring and Planet
The most basic type of planetary gearset is demonstrated in the figures above. The figure at remaining shows a three-dimensional look at as the figure at right provides a cross-section. In this geartrain, inputs and result can be taken from the carrier, ring and sunlight gears, and only the planet experiences epicyclic motion. That is the the majority of common type of planetary gearset (apart from the differential) and it finds application in speed reducers and automated transmissions. Invest the aside a cordless drill, you will most probably find this kind of planetary gearset right behind the drill chuck.

Two Suns, Two Planets
The gearset proven above has two sun gears, and both planet gears (the yellow gears) rotate as a single unit. Sunlight gears (green and brownish) can rotate independently of 1 another. The inputs and output can be chosen from either sun equipment and/or the carrier. High speed reductions may be accomplished with this unit, nonetheless it can suffer from low efficiency if not designed correctly.

The animations above show the ‘two suns – two planets’ gearset with one sunlight as input and the other sunlight fixed. Note that the carrier rotates clockwise in the animation at still left and counterclockwise in the computer animation at right – even though sunlight rotates counterclockwise in both cases.
The Differential
The gearset shown above is different from the preceding gearsets for the reason that it is made up of miter gears instead of spur (or helical) gears. The ‘sun’ gears are the ones that do not go through the epicyclic motion experienced by the planet. And the differential can be utilized to gauge the difference in rate between two shafts for the purpose of synchronization. Furthermore, the differential is frequently used in auto drive trains to conquer the difference in wheel quickness when a car goes around a corner.
