This is the redesign that changed planetary gearheads foreverCarson Manufacturing set a new industry standard by redesigning and revolutionizing the design of planetary gearheads. In the following more than two decades, so many other companies have followed in their path that the method is now standard.Carson Manufacturing’s vice president, and her son, Kenny Penn, the sales engineer. This family-owned company continues to work with an expert team of individuals, many who have been with the company for 20+ years.Carson Manufacturing continues to innovate and strive for excellence. Its team of engineers, machinists, and assemblers are a significant contributor to improving planetary gearhead technology.After 48 years of operations, the company is well-known, a leading manufacturer of planetary gearheads. And, of course, the innovation didn’t stop in 1996.The Precision Series is Carson’s high-end line of planetary gearheads designed for the most strenuous applications. The Precision Series is made in sizes 17, 23, 34, 42 & 56 with standard ratios from 3:1 to 100:1; however, Carson can produce ratios up to 10,000:1. The Cadillac of Carson’s planetary gearboxes, the Precision Series features a dynamic radial shaft seal at the input and output and an enclosure rating of IP65. The operating temperature ranges from -20°F to 250°F.The design that changed it all was the Eliminator Series, Carson’s affordable high-end line of planetary gearheads designed for strenuous applications. The Eliminator series shares many of the same features with the Precision Series but comes in sizes 17, 23, and 34 with standard ratios from 3:1 to 100:1. The firm can also produce ratios up to 10,000:1.The “S” Series is Carson’s most economical line of planetary gearheads designed for light-duty applications. However, it still delivers the same quality and reliability that Carson promises of all its planetary gearheads. The “S” Series comes in sizes 17, 23, and 34, with standard ratios from 4:1 to 100:1, with custom rations available up to 10,000:1. The “S” Series features an IP54 enclosure rating.Carson offers two lines of right angle planetary gearheads: the Right Angle Eliminator (RE) and the Right Angle Precision (RP). The Right Angle Eliminator comes in sizes 17, 23, and 34, while the Right Angle Precision comes in sizes 17, 23, 34, 42, and 56. Both have standard ratios from 3:1 to 100:1, and custom ratios can go up to 10,000:1. Both lines of right-angle series planetary gears include the same features, an enclosure rating of IP65, an operating temperature range of -20°F to 250°F, and hardened steel spiral miter gears.From slight modifications in existing designs to complete custom gearheads built-to-suit, Carson helps clients around the world engineer and develop the planetary gearhead specific to a project. From gearheads that help detect cancer and other diseases to those that improve the production of paper, the breadth and depth of Carson’s development capabilities are impressive.We understand that the success of your business and machines relies on reliable, planetary gearheads done right, on budget and on time. Because we are committed to your success and want to ensure you have the best result, if your project needs a custom design, we won’t charge you for the design, unlike other manufacturers. And, each and every design is strenuously tested under multitudes of variable conditions and under various technical specifications and requirements.Carson Manufacturing Has Been Featured On…
