Epicyclic Gearbox
Epicyclic Gearbox
(OP)
I am interested in epicyclic gearboxes to solve a design problem I have. Does anyone know if this type of gearbox design can achieve a 40:1 speed reduction. I am also constrained by size so this gearbox needs to be compact. Examples I have seen have low ratios and I fear the reduction I am looking for will require large gears that will not fit the space available to me.

Compact? That all depends on the load carrying capacity required by the application.
