Background & Objective
Modern automotive applications place the highest demands on smooth running, whilst at the same time facing massive cost pressures. The planetary screw gear for IMS Gear combines a compact design with significantly improved NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) performance.
By directly coupling the ring gear to the planetary gears and designing the system specifically to accommodate injection moulding tolerances, we produce gearboxes that are quieter, smaller and more cost-effective than conventional two-stage solutions.
Highlights
- Significant improvement in NVH performance (smoothness and noise)
- Reduced installation space compared with a two-stage planetary gearbox
- Comprehensive design optimisation for injection moulding production
- Direct coupling of the ring gear to the planet gear for improved efficiency
- Application-specific efficiency adjustment via next|gear
