Planetary gear
In a planetary gear, several gears (planet wheels) roll on a central gear (sun wheel) and the fixed ring gear. Planetary gears are often designed with multiple stages to enable higher gear ratios. These gearboxes are particularly used for high-torque requirements, especially when low-loss and highly efficient operation is required and self-locking is not permitted.
