Planetary gear to increase turbine rotor speed
- a very efficient (98%), compact way to increase wind turbine shaft speed (for a PMA) - the output shaft (large) goes 3.11 times faster than the input shaft (small) - this is a very cost effective way to improve the rotor speed of a turbine - steel gears, torque rating: 110 in-lb - can be used 3 ways; either clamp the ring gear or small shaft or large shaft (the other 2 rotate as expected) - very versatile, has many applications, a great design tool - often a difficult gear unit to find, by itself
