    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    I would be happy to hear other design options, I am here for learning. I am explaining now the reason for incorporating a planetary gearbox serially - since the gear ratio of the jack itself is very problematic (I think 1:24) for assuring a self locking of the jack (this was s safety...

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    Hey, thank you for replying. I appreciate your statement, and maybe you are right - but it contradicts other previous claims of the same reaction torque in both cases. So without any profound explanation, FBD, external link which discusses that issue, I can't rely on it.

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    So your recommendation is to mount from the High speed/Low torque side for trying to ensure the best alignment to the "fast side"? If so, this is opposite to what many others recommended :cry::unsure:.

    I am replying about your question what and how is connected to the gerabox:

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    Good point, the only one I could understand so far. Actually you are the one who made me wonder about this issue;):). The first time you saw a question like this you gave another explanation :oops::

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    I am asking in general about any planetary gearbox. I am trying to thoroughly understand the rules of thumbs and guidelines.

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    Hey, I tried to compare both cases by FBD which analyzes only external forces. It indeed seems that the reaction is the same in both cases (Reaction_Torque=T_High_Torque_side-t_Low_Torque_side). But I am not sure I understand your statement "...but it has to travel as a torsional load on the...

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    If you read carefully what I wrote, then you can see that I wrote "I tried to figure out what is the reason, but unfortunately he didn't reply". He lives in germany and hardly speaks english, so calling isn't useful. Our communication is via emails and I asked several times to explain his...

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    I need to increase the speed. So my manual handle (input) is connected to low speed (high torque) shaft. The output is the shaft on the side of high speed (low torque). Now - I have interface to mounting bracket connection on both side of the gear (input and output sides) and I wonder if the...

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    I think you didn't understand my question. I know what is the gear ratio (1/16). I am trying to understand to which side of the gearbox I attach the L bracket, and if it matters in terms of gearbox durability.

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    Hey, mfgenggear. Lets leave for a moment what is the input side. I am trying to understand if the mounting side matters.

    Planetary Gearbox mounting

    Hello, I am trying to understand why the planetary gearbox manufacturer recommends mounting his planetary gearbox through the High Torque (Low Speed) side. I tried to figure out what is the reason, but unfortunately he didn't reply. A colleague told me I would better mount the gearbox through...

    Locking the position while using a linear slide

    Locking the position while using a linear slide

    Hello, How can I lock a linear slide position in a fast way? Is there a linear slide which provides the option of manually locking the slider position after making the required adjustments?

    A modular profile (item) construction - tolerances?

    thank you' you are right. I don't feel comfortable with the current design and I am really considering stopping and reconsider other consepts. It's quite upsetting because I was about to start manufacturing.

    A modular profile (item) construction - tolerances?

    The big problem is that the one who needs to approve the design opposes to connect the mechanism directly to the green plate because "it makes the design complicated" and insists to keep connecting the mechanism to the purple plate and solve the unparallelism issues by means of some kind of...

    Thanks, What is the difference between my jack and inverted like the one you presented?
