A Study on Optimum Calculation of Partial Transmission Ratios of Coupled Planetary Gear Sets

Abstract

This paper introduces a new and effective study on optimum calculation of the partial ratios of coupled planetary gear sets for getting minimum radial size of the gear sets. In the paper, basing on moment equilibrium condition of a mechanic system including two row planetary gear units and their regular resistance condition, an effective model for determining the partial ratios of coupled planetary gear sets was proposed. Especially, by giving this explicit model, the partial ratios can be calculated accurately and simply.
