Precision Sun Gears for Planetary Systems | Power Transmission
Our precision forged sun gears are central components in planetary gear systems, offering unmatched strength and accuracy for wind turbine gearboxes, industrial transmissions, and high-torque drivetrains.
What Are Sun Gears?
In a planetary gear system, the sun gear is the central gear around which the planetary gears rotate. It serves as the primary input or output component, transmitting torque and motion within the gear train. By engaging with multiple planet gears simultaneously, the sun gear enables high torque density, compact design, and smooth power distribution. Its precision and durability are critical for applications such as automotive transmissions, aerospace systems, and industrial machinery, where reliable performance under continuous load is essential.
