Dimensioning
Applications for GTE planetary gearboxes are characterized by the following
speed-time-curves:
●
Triangular speed curve with pause interval
●
Operation with constant speed and pause interval
●
Operation with trapezoidal speed curve and pause interval
●
Continuous operation without pause interval (S1)
The speed-time curves define the dimension criteria.
Triangular operation with pause in‐
terval
This operating mode is characteristic for all highly-dynamic feeds. These are
often found in roll-feed mechanisms in the sheet-metal, paper, plastic and
packaging industries.
Fig.4-1:
Speed-time curve for triangle operation
The dimensioning of this operation is mainly made according to the necessary
maximum torque M
max
and the average velocity V

resp. mean speed

.
Continuous Operation with Pause
Interval
This operation is characteristic for all highly-dynamic feeds. These are often
found in winding machines, drive rolls and in portioning devices in the sheet-
metal, paper, plastic and packaging industry.

The dimensioning of this operation is mainly made according to the necessary
maximum torque M

and the average velocity V

.
Triangular Operation with Pause In‐
terval
This mode of operation is characteristic for the most highly-dynamic feeds.
They can be found in loaders and handling systems in nearly all industry sec‐
tors.
