Planetary Components for the Auger Conveyor (1) Output shaft (2) Hub (3) Internal gear (4) Plug (5) Planetary cluster gear (6) Ring gear (7) Roller bearings (8) Plug (9) Planetary gear shaft (10) Cover (11) Bolt (12) Input shaft (13) Input gear (14) Carrier assembly (15) Retainer ringA planetary assembly is attached to each motor. The auger conveyor motor is splined into input shaft (12). Power from the motor is transmitted through the input shaft to input gear (13) then to planetary cluster gear (5). There are three planetary cluster gears. The planetary cluster gears are meshed with ring gear (6) and internal gear (3) .The ring gear is fastened to cover (10) by bolt (11). This bolt is one of eight bolts that attaches the cover and the ring gear to hub (2) .Internal gear (3) is meshed with output shaft (1). The output shaft is held in position by retainer ring (15). Since the planetary cluster gears (5) are rotating and the ring gear (6) is stationary, the internal gear (3) and the output shaft (1) also rotate. The conveyor chain drive sprocket is attached to the output shaft.Plug (4) is used in order to fill the conveyor planetary with oil for lubricating and cooling.
