Torque Rating of a Gear Pair
For a given gear geometry, the application determines the torque rating by an iterative calculation process.
Dimensioning of a Gear Pair
The dimensioning of a gear pair is supported. Input is requested of: transmission ratio, load and the gear materials that will be used.
A preference for a slender or compact version can be set. The number of teeth and the gear module are caclulated.
The two nearest standard modules are determined in combination with three different number of teeth.
This lead to six combinations worth while for further examination.
Dimensioning a Planetary Gear Train
Dimensioning for given transmission ratio and load
Selection of materials for sun and planet gear. The material for the annulus is supposed to have characteristics comparable to the material
for the planet gear. Input of load and basic planetary parameters as as you can find in following dialog box:
The application calculates a solution that match with the specific conditions for a planetary gear train as shown in the following dialog box:
Verification Planetary Gear Train for given module
The calculation is based on the chosen module and on the desired fixed carrier transmission ratio. The user chooses the number of teeth
for the sun gear and the application calculates a proposal for the other geometric parameters. The input is to do with following dialog box:
The user has to define the motion state of the planetary train: indication for which shafts the rotation speed is to be imposed, followed
by their rotation speeds, input of the desired dependent rotation speed for the third shaft. With this input the desired fixed carrier
transmission ratio can be calculated as suggestion for the next input of geometric parameters.
Input of geometry: the normal module mn, face width b, reference helix angle β,
number of planet gears p, desired fixed carrier transmission ratio i14 and number of teeth of the sun gear
z1.
With a push on the tab key after each subsequent input, the application will suggest the number of teeth for planet and annulus gears,
the center distance a12 for gear pair 1. Start with input of a rounded center distance a12 for pair 1
and calculate the profile shift coefficients for the sun gear, planet gears and ring gear. Try iteratively different values for the
center distance until both conditions (x3 + x4) <= 0 and x4 <= 0 are reasonable satisfied.
On clicking the OK button, the calculation results are displayed in a window as follows:
