Gear Sets for Commercial Vehicles
Ever-Power new planetary reducers hire a floating sun gear rather than a set position one.
The word ”There’s nothing new beneath the sun’ certainly applies to planetary reducers. And, while floating sunlight gears have already been around a long time, some engineers might not end 
up being aware of the huge benefits this unusual gear style can offer.
Traditionally, planetary reducers have used a fixed sun gear, where in fact the centre gear is mounted on or machined into the shaft. When this set sun gear revolves, it turns the earth gears to create motion and/or power. Ever-Power new planetary reducers, however, are having a floating sun equipment rather than a set position sun gear.
Why a floating sun gear? ‘In the planetary idea, the sun may be the sun planet gear 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’s flawlessly centred among the three planets in order to provide equal load sharing among itself and all three planets.’
Due to normal manufacturing tolerances nevertheless, a sun gear which is securely set on a shaft will intermittently have significantly more load using one planet gear than on another gear Hulstein explained. ‘By allowing the sun equipment to float, it centres itself among the three planets and creates continuous, equal load sharing.’
Equal load posting is merely one of the advantages of this design. The floating sun gear provides ‘accurate involute action,’ according to Hulstein. Accurate involute action happens when the rolling movement between your mating gears is really as complete as feasible. The benefit of this finish meshing of gears is usually longer reducer lifestyle, since less internal equipment slippage means fewer damaged gear teeth.
That also means lower noise amounts. When sunlight gear is permitted to completely roll into the world gears, there’s much less ‘rattling’ as one’s teeth mesh. In effect, the Ever-Power product provides ‘designed out’ the gear mesh sound by allowing sunlight gear to float into place.
So why make use of a set sun gear at most? ‘Fixed sun gears are often used in accurate servo applications,’ Greg Pennings, Ever-Power Consumer Advocate, explained. ‘A set sun gear is necessary when specific positioning and low backlash are an integral part of the app.’ Ever-Power engineers, however, were less concerned with low backlash and more interested with higher torque and/or lower noise applications.
Our planetary reducers with floating sunlight gears were made to contend with parallel shaft reducers, where backlash was less critical,’ Pennings said.
By using the floating sun gear concept, the Ever-Power planetary reducers have the ability to exceed the torque rankings of similar sized and bigger sized parallel shaft reducers, and yet maintain a lesser noise levels.
Sun, Ring and Planet
The most basic kind of planetary gearset is shown in the figures above. The figure at remaining shows a three-dimensional look at while the figure at correct provides a cross-section. In this geartrain, inputs and output can be taken from the carrier, ring and sunlight gears, and just the earth experiences epicyclic motion. This is the many common kind of planetary gearset (with the exception of the differential) and it finds application in speed reducers and automated transmissions. If you take aside a cordless drill, you will most probably find this type of planetary gearset directly behind the drill chuck.
Two Suns – Two Planets gearset

Two Suns, Two Planets
The gearset proven above has two sun gears, and both planet gears (the yellow gears) rotate as a single unit. The sun 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. Very high speed reductions may be accomplished with this unit, nonetheless it can suffer from low efficiency if not really designed correctly.

Purple sun input – crimson sun fixed
The animations above show the ‘two suns – two planets’ gearset with one sunlight as input and the other sun fixed. Remember that the carrier rotates clockwise in the animation at left and counterclockwise in the animation at right – despite the fact that sunlight rotates counterclockwise in both cases.
The Differential
The gearset demonstrated above is different from the preceding gearsets in that it is made up of miter gears instead of spur (or helical) gears. The ‘sun’ gears are those that do not go through the epicyclic motion experienced by the earth. And the differential can be used to gauge the difference in acceleration between two shafts for the purpose of synchronization. In addition, the differential is frequently used in auto drive trains to get over the difference in wheel acceleration when a car goes around a corner.
