Planetary Reducer Gearboxes for a Wide Range of Applications

 Though there are numerous types of gearboxes, few technologies can match the capabilities of a planetary reducer gearbox when it comes to transmitting high power and torque. By harnessing the potential of a Carson Manufacturing planetary reducer, you can…

  • Reduce wear and tear on your equipment
  • Achieve your goals with powerful equipment that can handle a lot of stress
  • Work with a U.S. manufacturer and benefit from quick production and shipping

Carson Manufacturing offers a wide range of standard and custom planetary reducers to meet your specific requirements. We also provide various customization options to get exactly what you need for your application.

Custom Planetary Reducer Gearbox

We understand that the success of your business relies on reliable, planetary gearboxes. So, we have the perfect product if you’re searching for an all-in-one solution.

Our custom planetary gearboxes provide optimal transmission torque and come with minimal maintenance.

Eliminator Series Planetary Reducer Gearbox

Eliminator Series Planetary Reducer Gearbox

The Eliminator Series (EP) from Carson Manufacturing is a line of high-end planetary gearheads designed for strenuous applications. Made in sizes 17, 23 & 34 with standard ratios from 3:1 to 100:1, the EP can produce ratios up to 10,000:1.

Featuring a dynamic radial shaft seal at the input and output, the EP has an enclosure rating of IP65 and an operating temperature range of -20°F to 250°F. Additionally, the EP comes with aluminum hard anodized rear & front brackets with a surface hardness of 60 rockwell and an alloy steel powder-coated ring gear.

Finally, the EP features sealed radial ball bearings, a stainless-steel output shaft, and hardened precision gearing throughout for unbeatable performance. The precision clamp on pinion comes with four clamping screws to eliminate slippage.

Precision Series Planetary Gearbox

Precision Series Planetary Reducer Gearbox

Looking for a top-quality gearhead that can handle the most strenuous applications? Look no further than the Precision Series from Carson Manufacturing. Our precision gearheads are made in sizes 17, 23, 34, 42 & 56 with standard ratios from 3:1 to 100:1. And we’re capable of producing ratios up to 10,000:1! Each Precision Series gearhead features a dynamic radial shaft seal at the input and output, an IP65 rating, and a -20°F to 250°F operating temperature range. Plus, our aluminum hard anodized rear & front brackets have a surface hardness of 60 rockwell for added durability. Additional highlights include an alloy steel powder-coated ring gear, quality sealed radial ball bearings, and a stainless steel output shaft.
Right Angle Planetary Gearbox

Carson offers two lines of NEMA right angle planetary gearheads: the Right Angle Eliminator (RE) and the Right Angle Precision (RP).

The Right Angle Eliminator line is offered in sizes 17, 23, and 34. The Right Angle Precision line is offered in sizes 17, 23, 34, 42, and 56. Both lines have standard ratios from 3:1 to 100:1 and can produce ratios up to 10,000:1. Both the RP and the RE lines deliver high torque and quiet, smooth operation.

In both the RE and the RP lines, the enclosure rating is IP65, and the operating temperature range is 20°F to 250°F. Both are made with hardened steel spiral miter gears. They are fully sealed and come with a stainless-steel output shaft. All the housing and mounting brackets are of aircraft-grade aluminum to reduce weight.

Custom Right-Angle Gearheads

In addition to the Right Angle Eliminator (RE) and the Right Angle Precision (RP) lines, Carson Manufacturing regularly helps clients engineer and develop the right-angle planetary gearhead their project requires. We can create the specific speed reducer for the job from slight modifications in existing designs to complete custom right-angle gearheads built-to-suit. We see these projects as an opportunity to work with our clients to create solutions for their specific needs. By leveraging this gearhead’s adaptability, we can help make the right speed reducer for the project’s specifications.

Like the NEMA right angle gearheads, our custom right angle speed reducers also have the same enclosure ratings and temperature ranges and are made with hardened steel spiral miter gears. They are also fully sealed and come with a stainless steel output shaft. Like the RE and RP lines, all the housing and mounting brackets are aircraft-grade aluminum to reduce weight.

S Series Planetary Gearbox

S-Series Planetary Reducer Gearbox

The “S” Series from Carson Manufacturing is outstanding for light-duty applications. These gearheads are available in sizes 17, 23 & 34, with standard ratios from 4:1 to 100:1. We can also produce ratios up to 10,000:1 upon request. Some features that make the “S” Series stand out include a dynamic radial shaft seal at the input and output, an IP54 enclosure rating, and an operating temperature range of -20°F to 250°F. The aluminum hard anodized rear & front brackets offer a surface hardness of 60 rockwell, while the alloy steel powder-coated ring gear provides durability and longevity. The quality sealed radial ball bearings and stainless steel output shaft ensure smooth operation even under heavy loads. For a budgetary-friendly yet a high-quality option, look no further than the “S” Series gearheads from Carson Manufacturing.

Find the Most Reliable Planetary Reducer on the Market

A planetary reducer gearbox is one of the most popular and versatile available. However, choosing the right planetary reducer manufacturer for your application can be challenging with so many different models on the market.

  • Why compromise when it comes to high power and speed ratios and torque transmission?
  • Why suffer long delays in time to production and shipping?
  • Why settle for a planetary reducer that doesn’t fit your exact needs?
  • Why search endlessly for a gear reducer that is highly reliable and can withstand high loads?
  • Why put up with noisy equipment that breaks down more often?
  • Why accept high shipping costs from overseas companies?
  • Why work with unreliable manufacturers who don’t deliver what they promise?
