We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Planetary Gearing",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Light gears offer high strength from
Brevini, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Posiplan PH and BPH shaft-mounted range of gearboxes employs the planetary stages at the input end and the helical stage at the slower, higher torque output side".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Heason Technologies takes on the TwinSpin range from
Heason Technologies Group: "Heason Technologies takes on the TwinSpin range of precision 'bearing reducer' gearboxes from Spinea".
In April 2006, we covered the news from Alpha Gear Drives
concerning its TPM
- take a look at Geared motor is compact precision actuator
which says: "The TPM is a geared motor (rotary actuator) based on an AC servomotor and high-precision planetary gearing".
Take a look also at the news release from Inmoco, Reliability and flexibility from actuators,
as well as System solution pays off in hydraulics design from Brevini,
and Alliance promises gearing optimisation from Sixsmith Consulting.
