Efficiency analysis of the planetary gear

 trains functional modules

  

Mladen Pantiæ

 

The efficiency analysis of the planetary gear trains functional modules was performed. The obtained results are very important in the design process of planetary gear trains. Analytical expressions for the determination of efficiency for several existing methods were shown. The correlation of the considered methods was determined from the standpoint of the defined values of efficiency and the influence of relevant parameters on the functional modules efficiency was considered.

 

Key words: planetary gear train, functional module, gear ratio, efficiency.
