The Epicyclic Gear, also known as a Planetary Gear System, is a compact and efficient mechanism that delivers high torque density, smooth power transmission, and load sharing across multiple gears. It consists of a central sun gear, multiple planet gears, and an outer ring gear, making it ideal for space-constrained and high-performance applications.
At FloFit Enterprises, we provide custom-engineered planetary gear systems tailored to industrial, automotive, and robotics sectors, ensuring silent operation, load balancing, and excellent efficiency.
