Abstract
A modular gear system for transmitting power from a motor to a device such as a pump which requires power to operate. The system includes a gearbox and first and second planetary gearset assemblies connectable between an output shaft of the motor and a drive shaft of the pump. The system may be configured as either a single-stage mode wherein the first gearset assembly is received in the gearbox to produce a rotational speed adjustment between the shafts, or a multi-stage mode wherein both the first and second gearset assemblies are received in the gearbox and are connected in series to produce a different rotational speed adjustment. The system provides flexibility for different speed and power requirements and is adaptable to a variety of motors.
