Antony Neugart USA LP Automation, motion control and positioning applications are characterized by repeated  acceleration and deceleration cycles associated with frequent starts / stops and direction reversals. The characteristic load cycle of an application usually consist of a number of load peaks of different intensity and duration. The exact load cycle of a machine is not easy to predict; however, it can be measured and a statistically representative load characteristic cycle can be generated.

Antony / Neugart USA LP  What ratio is the optimal for a certain application depends on the motor and application parameters such as required torque, rpm and, inertial match. For easier computation it is preferred that the planetary gearbox ratio is an exact integer ( 3, 4, 6 ..... ). Since we are so used to the decimal system, one frequently is tempted to use 10:1 even though this has no practical advantaged for the computer / servo / motion controller. Actually, as we will see, 10:1 or higher ratios are the weakest; using the least "balanced" size gears and hence has the lowest torque rating.
