Festo Planetary Gearbox, 3:1 Gear Ratio, 17.6 Nm Maximum Torque, 18000rpm Maximum Speed

This gearbox is a Compact planetary reducer designed for precise torque transmission in automated and electromechanical systems. It converts input rotational speed into a reduced output with smooth operation, suitable for integration in machinery where controlled torque and high rotational capability are required.

• 98% efficiency reduces energy losses during operation
• 3:1 gear ratio delivers predictable torque multiplication
• 17.6 Nm maximum output torque supports moderate-load drives
• 18,000 r/min maximum speed enables high-speed actuator use
• 40mm shaft diameter allows robust coupling to drive elements
• Planetary arrangement provides Compact torque density

• Suitable for servo motor-driven conveyor indexing systems
• Ideal for precision rotary actuators in automation assemblies
• Used with rotary encoders in position-controlled machinery
• Can be used for gearbox integration in Compact robotic joints
• Used for torque boosting in small industrial gear trains

The Planetary configuration shares load across multiple Planet gears, reducing individual gear stress and improving lifespan under cyclical loads.

The output presents a 40mm diameter shaft suited to rigid couplings or hub-mounted connections for direct torque transfer.

A 3:1 reduction changes the effective inertia seen by the motor, requiring adjustment of controller gains to maintain the desired dynamic response.
