A planetary gear drive consists of a sun gear, planet pinions and an internal gear. We designed a complex gear system which is usable in the field of the vehicle industry into the automatized robots. The system was designed by GearTeq software which is connected with the SolidWorks designer software. After the assembly and the motion simulations tooth contact analysis (TCA) was made to analyse the normal stresses and the normal deformations on the connecting surface of the planet pinions and the internal gear by different load moments.

Compact Design

The power-split gear mechanisms is widely applied in power transmission because of the advantages of compact design, lighter weight and high power density. The load sharing and the load distribution are the important performance issues while designing the power split mechanisms. The paper propose a computerized approach based on the influence coefficient method for loaded tooth contact analysis of such the gear transmission. Not only the load sharing of the multiple contact tooth pairs and the loaded transmission errors, but also the distributed contact stresses and the corresponding contact patterns on all the engaged tooth flanks can be calculated by using the proposed LTCA approach. Some analysis results are also discussed with a study case of the first planetary stage of a compound cycloid planetary gear drive.

Equal Space

Based on Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA), a feasible approach for Transmission Error (TE) of planetary gear train is proposed in this paper. With a view to getting the total TE curve of the planetary gear train, a specific analysis of the TE from the planetary gear train with only one planet should be proceed firstly, the second step is to calculate each phase difference of planets in the gear train. The applicable conditions for the simplified calculation are spur gear or involute gear pairs in the gear train. Due to equal space between them, planets have the same phase angle.

Alignment Errors

The coordinate systems for cutting face gears and for meshing of face gear drive with involute cylindrical pinion. The tooth surface equation of face gear with machining errors is deviated, such as change of shaft angle, change of shortest distance between face gear and cutter tool axes, helix angle of cutter tool. Tooth contact analysis applied in the paper considered with the alignment error of the driving system. The tooth contact path and the transmission error of the face gear drive were simulated through the tooth contact analysis for different alignment errors and machining errors. The simulation results indicate that all of the alignment errors and machining error don’t cause transmission error except helix angle error of the cutting tool. The errors will bring the shift of the contact path on gear teeth. The shift of bearing contact can be reduced by combination of different errors of alignment or machining.

Loaded Tooth Contact Analysis

A double direction modification with a grinding worm is applied on tooth surface of face gear drive. The surface equations of the rack cutter, shaper and grinding worm are derived respectively. Loaded tooth contact analysis (LTCA) with finite element method (FEM) is performed to investigate the meshing performance of face gear drive before modification and after modification. The modification by a grinding worm can obviously reduce the sensitivity of face gear drive to misalignment; the bending stress and the contact stress are reduced with avoiding edge contact; the load transmission error is reduced. This method can obtain a more stable bearing contact in contrast to the method by increasing tooth number of shaper, and the modification magnitude can be controlled freely. The investigation is illustrated with numerical examples.

Gear Trains

Planetary gear trains have many advantages in applications. In these advantages, quiet noise and slight vibration may be contribute to low Transmission Error (TE), which can be calculated by Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA). However, to obtain numerical solution of the meshing equations based on TCA for planetary gear trains is very difficult because of a large number of nonlinear equations and unknowns. A simplified method utilizing planet phase angle is investigated and the numerical solution of planetary gear trains TE by TCA can be realized in this paper.
