Miniature Planetary Gearboxes

Linner Gears supplies miniature planetary gearboxes and custom compact gear assemblies for applications requiring high reduction ratios, torque density, and controlled motion in limited space. We review motor interface, ratio, load, speed, duty cycle, dimensions, materials, quantities, and inspection requirements before production.
