This paper presents the mathematics governing the torque related losses in a planetary gear set. The losses as a function of the Ring to Sun ratio, which element is grounded (Sun, Ring, or Carrier), and whether the system is “Simple” or “Compound” are developed. The paper also develops the mathematics governing the losses in planetary gear sets that are connected together.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
