Raydafon BADR precision planetary gear units are built for servo axes that need low backlash, high torsional rigidity and repeatable positioning. Helical planetary gears run smoother and quieter than straight-cut gears, while the one-piece planet carrier holds alignment under reversing load. Ratios cover 3:1 to 100:1, backlash options are ≤3 arcmin or ≤8 arcmin, single-stage efficiency reaches 96–98%, and IP65 protection plus lifetime synthetic grease reduce maintenance. Used in robotics, CNC, packaging, printing, medical equipment and solar tracking. OEM motor adapter, shaft, flange and nameplate available.
BADR Precision Planetary Gear Units for Servo and Motion Control
BADR precision planetary gear units are built for servo applications that need low backlash, high torsional rigidity and repeatable positioning. Helical-cut planetary gears run smoother and quieter than straight-cut alternatives, while the one-piece planet carrier holds alignment under high torque and frequent reversing. Standard ratios cover 3:1 to 100:1, with backlash options down to 3 arcmin for high-precision axes.

≤3 arcminLow backlash option
96–98%Single-stage efficiency
Reduction Ratio Ladder – 3:1 to 100:1
Single-stage BADR units cover 3:1 to 10:1. Two-stage units extend the range to 100:1. Higher ratios reduce output speed and multiply torque, which lets a smaller servo motor drive a heavier load without losing positioning accuracy.

Four Design Features That Reduce Vibration and Wear
These are the four design points that separate BADR from low-cost planetary units on the market.
01
Helical Planetary Gears
Helical tooth profile gives more contact ratio than straight-cut gears, so torque transfer is smoother and noise is lower at high input speeds.
02
One-Piece Planet Carrier
Single-piece carrier keeps the planet gears aligned under reversing load, which protects the gear mesh and extends service life.
03
Precision-Ground Gears
Gear teeth are ground to a tight tolerance, giving consistent contact pattern, low backlash and repeatable positioning.
04
Lifetime Synthetic Grease
Synthetic grease sealed at the factory keeps lubrication stable for the life of the unit, so no oil change is required during normal operation.
Typical Applications
BADR precision planetary gear units are used wherever a servo motor needs more torque, lower speed or better positioning accuracy.
Robotics & Automation
Robot joints, gantries, pick-and-place heads and rotary indexing tables.
CNC & Machine Tools
Tool changers, tool turrets, feed axes and spindle positioning.
Packaging Machinery
Filling, sealing, labeling and cartoning lines with frequent start-stop cycles.
Printing & Converting
Web tension control, registration rollers and cutting cylinders.
Medical & Lab Equipment
Sample handling, imaging stages and precise dosing axes.
Solar & Energy
Solar tracker drives, panel cleaning systems and battery handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about backlash, ratios, motor compatibility and service life.
What is the difference between precision backlash and standard backlash?
Precision backlash is ≤ 3 arcmin and is used for CNC, robotics and inspection axes that need high repeatability. Standard backlash is ≤ 8 arcmin and is suitable for general automation, packaging and printing where absolute positioning is less critical.
Can BADR match my existing servo motor?
Yes. Send the servo motor shaft diameter, flange size, bolt circle and keyway drawing. Raydafon will confirm the correct adapter or machine a custom adapter for OEM projects.
Is BADR suitable for frequent reversing?
Yes. The one-piece planet carrier and precision-ground gears keep the mesh aligned under reversing load, which protects the unit during frequent start-stop and direction-change cycles.
Does BADR need oil changes?
No. BADR units are filled with lifetime synthetic grease at the factory. Under normal operating conditions, no lubrication maintenance is required during the service life of the unit.
What is the protection grade?
Standard protection is IP65. Higher IP ratings and food-grade grease are available on request for washdown or food-contact applications.
What is the warranty period?
We provide an 18-month warranty from shipment date covering manufacturing defects, with full technical support.
