Planetary Gear Bearing Arrangements in Industrial Gearboxes

Technical Principles Products and Applications

Industrial gearboxes are being designed as increasingly compact with smaller design envelope while their power levels are continually increasing. This increase in power density within a very small space places increasingly high demands on the rolling bearings used. This is particularly true for planetary gearboxes in industrial gearboxes, since such gearboxes must transmit very high power levels with high operational security within a very small design envelope. In more than a few cases, the planetary gears in particular are subjected to loads up to their physical limits. At the same time, the planetary carriers and planetary studs are subjected to heavy reversed bending loads.
