A Simplified Approach Based Phase Angle for Tooth Contact Analysis of Planetary Gear Trains

Abstract:

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.
