Planetary and Spur gearboxes
Planetary gearbox advantages:
- compact size
- high efficiency
- low backlash
- high torque to weight ratio
Spur gearbox advantages:
- simple design and less expensive
- best for low-torque and low-speed applications

A gearbox is a set of gears that can be added to a motor to drastically decrease speed and/or increase torque.
Planetary gearboxes:
A planetary gearbox is a gearbox with the input shaft and the output shaft aligned. This type of gearbox is used to transfer the largest torque in the most compact form (known as torque density).
The planetary gearbox got its name because of how the different gears move together. In a planetary gearbox we see a sun (solar) gear, satellite (ring) gear and two or more planet gears.
