What is a solar gearbox?

The solar gearbox is a widely used part that is used in industrial devices and its main parts are ring, planetary and bearing gears. The main gear is placed in the center of the gearbox like the sun, and other gears surround it. These wheels make the part work with their movement, and if one of the parts is fixed, the other part rotates.

The main task of the solar gearbox is to control and change the speed and torque of the device, and nowadays the use of this type of gearbox has been expanded in various industries due to its high work efficiency. In the following, we will fully review its components, advantages and disadvantages and its types.

The mechanism and operation of the solar gearbox

In general, the solar gearbox has 3 parts, one of which must be fixed and the other two must be mobile. As we mentioned above, the solar gearbox works like the sun and the planets. In such a way that the central gear is in the center like the sun and the planetary gears surround it and the gears are connected to the central gear. Solar gearboxes transfer power from the drive to the moving component. In fact, the solar gearbox is placed between the motor and the consumer, and then the motors produce the device’s power.

 

 

 

Solar gearbox components

This type of gearbox is produced in various types, and each of their components is suitable for the performance of certain devices, and the output of these parts is about 98%. But in general, the components of the solar gearbox are as follows:

Two bearings
Solar gear
Planetary and ring gear
Two or more idler gears

 

Types of solar gearbox

In general, solar gearboxes are divided into the following two models in terms of function:

Industrial solar gearbox
Servo motor gearbox

Industrial solar gearboxes are made for use in electric motors, which are also used for coiling with hydromotors.

The servo motor gearbox is used to connect to the servo motor. Also, servo motor gearbox is used and works well in all kinds of CNC machines.

In terms of input type, gearboxes are produced in base, shaft input and hollow shaft input types. The gearbox outputs are known in single phase, thousand phase and flange types. It should be noted that some solar gearboxes are installed and implemented horizontally or vertically in the devices.

 

90 degree solar gearbox

In direct power transmission gearboxes, the input and output have the same side and without changing the direction of power transmission in them. Also, in 90 degree solar gearboxes, power is transmitted in the input part at a 90 degree angle to the output.

 

 

 

Solar gearbox price

The price of the solar gearbox varies according to the dimensions, type of operation and other things. Therefore, a fixed number cannot be considered for it.

Buying a solar gearbox

Solar gearbox is used in various industries. Manufacturers of industrial devices buy these parts in bulk. These gearboxes are used in concrete mixers, drilling machines, wind turbines, glass and ceramic industries, etc. As we mentioned above, nowadays, for various reasons, various types of solar gearboxes are used in various industries. For this reason, the purchase of solar gearboxes is offered to the market and to applicants by online and physical stores. When buying a solar gearbox, you should pay special attention to its power, speed, type of input and output, and its torque.

 

What effects does the solar gearbox have on nature?

Solar gearbox uses solar energy for power transmission and speed control in various systems. The use of this technology can have positive environmental effects compared to fuel-based energy sources:

1. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions: Solar gearboxes, due to renewable technology, produce energy without directly emitting greenhouse gases associated with fossil fuels. This helps to reduce the harmful effects of climate change.

2. Renewable energy sources: The solar gearbox uses the sun’s energy as the main source. This type of renewable and unlimited energy reduces dependence on non-renewable energy sources.

3. Reduction of consumption of natural resources: Since solar gearboxes benefit from sunlight and do not require fossil fuels, the consumption of natural resources is limited.

4. Reduction of air pollution: The use of solar gearboxes leads to the production of energy without air pollution, because this process takes place without combustion and emission of pollutants.

5. Increasing energy efficiency: By increasing the efficiency of energy production, solar gearboxes affect living organisms less and help balance bio-systems.

According to these points, solar gearboxes as a sustainable technology have positive effects in preserving the environment and various environmental measures.

Advantages of solar gearbox

According to the way the solar gearbox works and with the passage of time, the results show that the advantages of solar gearboxes are much more than their disadvantages. Some of the advantages of solar gearboxes are:

The solar gearbox takes up little space.
They are easily disconnected and connected and have little incompatibility tensions.
Because they have practical gears, they have high durability and longevity.
In the solar gearbox, the gears bear less pressure, which increases its lifespan.

 

Disadvantages of solar gearbox

Like all industrial products, the solar gearbox also has flaws! Some of the disadvantages of the solar gearbox are:

This type of gearbox should
