Right Angle Planetary Gearbox

DETAILS:

Right Angle Planetary Gearboxes from Sango Automation combine precision-ground 90° spiral bevel input gears with high-rigidity planetary reduction stages to solve compact space limitations.

Engineered specifically for servo and stepper motor drives, these perpendicular speed reducers deliver high torque density, low backlash (<2 arcmin), and outstanding radial load capacity across robotics, AGVs, and CNC equipment.

Sango Automation Limited is a trusted manufacturer and supplier of precision right-angle planetary gearboxes in China. With extensive engineering expertise, we provide high-performance 90-degree speed reducers for tight machine envelopes, AGV wheel drives, and multi-axis automated machinery.

Product Overview

A right-angle planetary gearbox achieves 90-degree directional motion change and speed reduction through a precision spiral bevel or hypoid gear input stage coupled directly to a planetary gear reduction assembly.

Unlike conventional worm gearboxes that suffer from low efficiency and thermal overheating, Sango right-angle planetary gearboxes maintain over 93% transmission efficiency under continuous full-load operation while delivering reduction ratios from 3:1 to 200:1.

Whether you require a compact right-angle reducer for AGV steer-drive units, a 90° gantry pick-and-place actuator, or an OEM build-to-print custom bevel planetary gearbox, Sango provides full technical support, 2D/3D CAD models, and rapid prototype manufacturing.

How It Works

01

90° Spiral Bevel Input Stage

High-precision spiral bevel gears redirect motor input torque 90 degrees with smooth multi-tooth contact and minimal noise (<58 dB).

02

Planetary Speed Reduction Stage

The bevel output directly drives the sun gear of the planetary stage, distributing mechanical loads across multiple planet gears for high torque density.

03

Compact Perpendicular Envelope

Mounting the motor parallel to the driven equipment saves vital axial length in tight machinery enclosures and mobile robotics.

04

Heavy-Duty Taper Roller Bearings

Oversized output bearings easily absorb combined radial cantilever loads and axial thrust forces in high-acceleration motion.

Manufacturing Capabilities

Our gear manufacturing facility is equipped with state-of-the-art Gleason CNC spiral bevel gear generators, Kashifuji KPS30 CNC skiving machines, and Reishauer gear grinders. We produce spiral bevel gears and planetary gear sets with module sizes from 0.5 to 5.0 and tooth flank accuracy meeting ISO Class 5 standards.

In-house vacuum heat treatment and controlled induction hardening ensure high tooth surface hardness (HRC 58-62) to resist contact fatigue while maintaining core toughness. Every right-angle planetary reducer undergoes strict 3D CMM metrology inspection and dynamic noise verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the primary advantages of a Right-Angle Planetary Gearbox?

Right-angle planetary gearboxes redirect the input axis by 90 degrees using high-precision spiral bevel or hypoid gears paired with a planetary output stage. This perpendicular orientation solves axial spatial constraints, allowing servo motors to be mounted parallel to machine frames without increasing machine depth.
