Despite all the benefits of a CVT transmission, it does have some drawbacks. A gear-based CVT is looking to address these drawbacks, but how does it work?

Brad Curry teaches ciLiving host, Jaclyn Friedlander how to make holes in the planetary gears In this video, we demonstrate how to accurately make holes in planetary gears for custom applications ...

Advanced planetary gear units now assembled domestically, reducing lead times to six weeks for high-torque industrial applications.

Fresh Heavy Duty Truck Safety Tech Emerges at CES 2025 Magnetic steering feedback “brake,” planetary ball-ramp rear steering, electric recirculating-ball front steering, and 5 million electric ...

The efficiency of a tooth-on-tooth geared transmission, with the smoothly variable gear ratios of a CVT – minus the belt friction and capable of going all the way down to a zero ratio without ...

Planetary gears provide advantages like a compact design, efficient transmission, smooth performance, and robust shock resistance. Face gears possess the benefits of high load-bearing capacity and ...

The needle and cylindrical bearings are modeled in detail for each planetary gear set. With accurate assembling of planetary gear sets, elements such as sun gear, ring gear, planet gear and carrier ...

This paper focuses on the overall finite element modeling of an electromechanical transmission (EMT) coupling mechanism, which mainly establishes FE model of coupling mechanism between two planetary ...

Another special feature in robot applications is the requirement of zero backlash, which is not standard in regular planetary gear units. Tönshoff et al. (1990) propose therefore options in axial, ...
