A gear mechanism, such as may non-exclusively be used with a scroll centrifuge, sugar mill drive or winch drive, the gear mechanism comprising a housing; and a first gear arrangement comprising: a first annular gear having a first axis about which it is rotatable in the housing; a second annular gear, being rotatable in the housing about the first axis; and a set of planet gears which each engage the first annular gear and the second annular gear. Such a gear mechanism can achieve high ratios and high torques with few components and be of compact size. |
