Custom Planetary Gearbox Solutions for OEMs & Automation Systems

 

At PJM Automation, we specialize in custom planetary gearboxes and bespoke planetary gear units tailored to meet the exact needs of global OEMs, automation integrators, and industrial machinery manufacturers. Whether you require a custom planetary gear reducer for AGV systems, a high-torque planetary gearbox for machine tools, or a compact planetary gear drive for robotics, we deliver engineered solutions designed for your application.

We are one of the leading planetary gear motor manufacturers in China. With many years of experience in the motion control industry, we specialize in a wide range of motors and actuators. We can provide customized services for users in different industries to ensure customer satisfaction.

 

Planetary gearbox are also named planetary gear reducer, planetary gearhead. It is a system of gears including three main components: Sun Gear, Planet Gears, ring gear. Adapt to your installation space, we design and offer inline planetary gearbox, right angle planetary gearbox, rotation table and full customed AGV gearbox.

 

Why Choose a Custom Planetary Gearbox?

 

Planetary Gearbox
Performance & Compactness
Planetary gearboxes offer outstanding torque density and compact footprint due to the epicyclic gear train arrangement. The compact inline design allows high gear ratios in small packages – ideal when installation space is limited.
Tailored to Your Application
Unlike standard gearboxes, our custom planetary gearboxes are fully engineered: you specify the gear ratio (single-stage or multi-stage), input/output shaft configuration, housing footprint, mounting dimensions, materials (steel, stainless, non-ferrous), lubrication (synthetic grease, food-grade grease, low-temperature oil), and protection class.
This “built-to-order” approach ensures your drive system is neither over-designed nor under-performing — just exactly what you need.
Ideal for Global Procurement
We support overseas procurement teams with full technical drawings, CAD data, specification sheets, and export-friendly packaging. Our processes ensure on-time delivery and compliance with ISO 9001/CE standards, making sourcing from China smooth and reliable.

 

 

Custom Industrial Planetary Gearbox Specifications & Options

Gear Ratio & Stages

● Typical gear ratios: 3:1 to 10:1 for standard single-stage. Multi-stage custom options up to 50:1 or more.

● Planetary stages: 1-stage, 2-stage, 3-stage, or more depending on torque/ratio requirements.

Shaft & Mounting Options

● Inline input/output shafts or right-angle designs.

● Fixed foot mounting or flange/shaft mounting.

● Custom shaft diameters and keyways, as requested by your equipment design.

Load Capacity & Bearings

● High radial/axial loads accepted by using taper-roller or cross-roller planetary bearings.

● Backlash control options for servo or precision motion systems.

Materials, Housing & Lubrication

● Hardened steel gears, non-ferrous or plastic gears for noise-sensitive applications.

● Housing: cast/machined steel, aluminum, or stainless steel for corrosive environments.

● Lubrication: synthetic oil, food-grade grease (for packaging machines), low-temp lubricant for outdoor use.

Efficiency & Lifetime

● Optimized gear geometry and bearing selection ensure high efficiency and long service life.

● Lifetime lubrication and minimal maintenance ensure reliable global operation.

 

Applications of Custom Planetary Gearboxes

AGV & Intralogistics

Autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs), warehouse shuttles, and intralogistics systems benefit from compact high-torque planetary gearboxes. Our custom solutions reduce length by up to 40% compared to standard designs, improving maneuverability and efficiency.

Robotics & Automation Equipment

Robotic arms, delta robots, and precision motion systems demand minimal backlash and high repeatability. We provide precision planetary gear units and reducers configured for servo motors and high-precision drives.

Heavy-Duty Machinery & Conveyors

In steel plants, cement mills, or mining equipment, planetary gearboxes must handle extreme loads and harsh environments. Our custom designs feature high-load bearings, sealed housings, and corrosion-resistant materials.

Machine Tools & Packaging Equipment

Compact drives for CNC machines, packaging lines, or food-grade applications often require customized mounting and hygiene-compliant design.

We offer food-grade lubrication and stainless housings to meet your industry standards.
