CCW 90 Degree Right Angle Planetary Gearbox for High Torque Transmission
The CCW 90 degree right angle planetary gearbox is designed for transmission systems where the input and output shafts need to work at a right angle.
The gearbox combines a planetary input stage with bevel gear transmission, allowing speed reduction and direction change to be handled within one compact gearbox assembly.
For machinery designers, this can simplify the transmission layout when a conventional inline gearbox cannot be installed because of limited space or shaft orientation.
Designed for Compact Power Transmission
In many industrial machines, the motor cannot be positioned directly in line with the driven shaft.
A 90 degree gearbox allows the motor and output shaft to be arranged perpendicular to each other.
This can help designers:
Reduce installation space
Simplify shaft routing
Change the transmission direction
Integrate the gearbox into compact machine frames
Build more flexible drive arrangements
The planetary input stage provides the reduction function, while the bevel gear section redirects the output.
High-Strength Bevel Gear
The CCW bevel gear is made from high-strength carburized alloy steel.
The gear is processed with grinding technology to improve the transmission surface and help maintain stable operation. The official product information also notes that this construction is intended to improve transmission accuracy and reduce operating noise.
For equipment manufacturers, gear quality becomes particularly important when the gearbox operates under continuous load or repeated acceleration and deceleration.
Tapered Roller Bearing
The output bearing uses a tapered roller bearing.
This bearing arrangement provides support for axial forces in addition to radial loading, making it suitable for output configurations where the shaft is exposed to mechanical loads from the driven equipment.
Before choosing the gearbox, the actual load conditions should be checked rather than selecting the model only according to motor power.
Planetary Reduction
The planetary input section allows the CCW transmission to be combined with a high reduction ratio.
According to the product information published by 3F FAMED, the planetary reducer ratio can be configured up to 2000 depending on the combination.
The final gearbox configuration should be selected according to the required input speed, output speed and torque.
Suitable Applications
The CCW right angle planetary gearbox can be used in:
Rotary Machinery
The right-angle arrangement is suitable for rotary mechanisms where the motor needs to be positioned away from the driven shaft.
Conveyor Equipment
The gearbox can be integrated into conveyor drives where space around the drive shaft is limited.
Packaging Machinery
Compact transmission layouts can be useful in packaging equipment with multiple mechanical components installed within a small frame.
Automation Equipment
The CCW series can be considered for automated machinery requiring a 90-degree transmission path.
Rotating Platforms
Models with flange or double-shaft configurations can be considered for rotary platform applications. The CCW-2P model, for example, uses tapered roller bearings and provides flange output and base mounting options for larger-load rotating platform applications.
Output Options
Depending on the model, the CCW family provides:
Single shaft output
Double shaft output
Hollow bore output
Clamping sleeve output
Flange output
This makes the series useful for machine builders working with different mechanical interfaces.
OEM and ODM Manufacturing
3F FAMED can work with OEM customers who require modifications to the standard gearbox.
Possible requirements include:
For project evaluation, provide the gearbox drawing, motor drawing or machine installation dimensions.
