Import Tips
• Provide gear ratio calculations and CAD drawings showing multi-stage planetary configuration to distinguish from simple gear sets
• Label assemblies clearly as 'complete gearing units' to avoid breakdown into individual components under different subheadings
• Comply with RoHS directives for electronics-integrated gearboxes common in automation
