Planetary gear system

An epicyclic gear train (also known as planetary gear ) consists of two gear s mounted so that the center of one gear revolves around the center of the other. Since planetary gear s mesh with the sun gear and ring gear at several locations, more teeth are engaged to drive the loa compared to a conventional gear and- pinion mesh. Therefore, for the same loa planetary gear ing requires smaller gear s (although in greater number) than a standard pinion-to-gear reduction. The planetary gear set, also known as the epicyclic gear train, is one of the most important and interesting inventions in engineering.

In this gear system , the yellow gear (the sun) engages all three red gear s (the planets) simultaneously. All three are attached to a plate (the planet carrier ), and they engage the inside of the blue gear (the ring) instead of the outside. Among other things, you see: An ingenious planetary gear set. A set of bands to lock parts of a gear set. An incredibly odd hydraulic system that controls the clutches and bands.

A large gear pump to move transmission fluid around. Each of these three components can be the input, the output or can be held stationary. Choosing which piece plays which role determines the gear ratio for the gear set. One of the planetary gear sets from our transmission has a ring gear with teeth and a sun gear with teeth.

If the carrier is acting as the output in the planetary gear system , being rotated by the sun gear while the ring gear stays still, divide the number of teeth on the planetary gear s (the driven gear ) by the number of teeth on the sun gear (the driving gear).

According to the first example, ÷ = for a ratio of 4:1. Sun gear is located at the center that transmits torque to planet gear s orbiting around the sun gear.

We have vast experience in manufacturing planetary gearbox and gear components such as sun gear , planet carrier, and ring gear in China. Requires an HTML 5-compliant browser. We are available to assist you with any questions you may have and to help recommend the correct gearing for your application.

A planetary gear system which has four gears is an example of a constrained gear system.

It is a closed loop system in which the power is transmitted from the driving gear through other gears and eventually to the driven gear. Either the internal gear or sun gear attached to the drum becomes the stationary or reactionary member. In the first method of reduction the input sun gear driving the pinion gears on their pins opposite the input direction. Because the pinion gears cannot move the stationary internal gear,.

Generally in industries, there are lots of applications where we need to transmit higher torque in limited space as well as we require light weight unit for transmitting the power,. For a three-speed hub, a one-stage planetary gear system is use for a five-speed hub a 2-stage. Each planet gear system has a reduction state, a direct coupling and an acceleration mode. In mathematical terms, the smallest reduction ratio is 3: the largest is 10: 1. R Number of teeth in ring gear S Number of teeth in sun (middle) gear P Number of teeth in planet gears The first constraint for a planetary gear to work out is that all teeth have the same pitch, or tooth spacing. This ensures that the teeth mesh.

Ring gear cycles per sun rpm are equal to the sun gear cycles divided by the ratio between the sun and the ring. Planetary gear ratio calculations. Torque for each mesh cycle on the sun is equal to the sun gear torque divided by the effective number of planets.

B = Size of driven gear or follower use either pitch diameter (inches or mm) or total number of teeth) C = Size of fixed gear (use either pitch diameter or number of teeth) E = Angle in degrees x = Size of planet gear as shown by diagram (use either pitch diameter or number of teeth). For a planetary arrangement with three planets, each tooth engagement of the sun gear would have to carry one third of the total load. Consequently, the dimensions of the sun gear would be one-third of the pinion of a parallel shaft gear -train designed to transmit an equivalent torque.

The connections for the pair have to be defined. In addition, a planetary gear set can be added to call a gear calculation for the planet gear set, instead of just calculations for gear pairs. The next step is to define the positioning of the planetary group. For this select Positioning in the system tree.

Torque-multiplying crankset promises cyclists more bang for their buck. Riders could use its planetary gearing system to pedal at a 1:1. That is, rotation of the carrier (and orbiting of the planets) does not affect the ratio between sun and ring, since this ratio is determined by the numbers of teeth in each gear.

Let us now repeat the preceding analysis, but this time allow the carrier to rotate. Due to the accuracy of different 3D printers the gears may be a tight or loose fit. Simple planetary gears have one sun, one ring, one carrier and one planet set. In a simple planetary setup, input power turns the sun gear at high speed.

As the planet carrier turns, it delivers low-spee high-torque output. Ports C, R, and S represent the shafts connected to the planet gear carrier, ring gear , and sun gear. A carrier connected to a drive shaft holds the planet gears. Designers choose one of four output shafts, configure a single-stage planetary using one of six different reductions, or build a multi-stage gearbox using any of the different ratio combinations.

You benefit from this wealth of experience. Because no application is so special that we would not have the right solution – whether a complete customer-specific new development or planetary gears produced from our modular system, used for propulsion in automation technology, machine construction or the packaging industry. Store each gear assembly in separate plastic bags.

Remove the snap rings from the planetary pins. Gearing efficiency varies with the number of gear stages. Minimum annual order quantities apply for custom designs. AC inverter-duty options with our 30R motor are also available for OEM designs.

For the determination of the load distribution in planetary gear stages the deformationanalysis isa more complex task as for spur gear stages. The deformation of the wheel body as well as the adja- centstructuresandtheplanetcarriercan’tbecalcu- lated efficiency in an analytical way.
