Operating behavior - calculation - key design aspects
Planetary gear units are used in a wide variety of designs and applications: from small actuators to the high-torque industrial and wind power sectors. Multiple planetary sets in power shift transmission systems (cars, trucks, trains, etc.) are used to harness their degrees of freedom in operation.
However, to fully capitalize on the great potential of planetary gears, it is essential to observe fundamental interrelationships and avoid design errors. That is precisely the aim of this seminar.
Target audience
Gearbox developers, designers, and calculation engineers.
Objectives
The goal of this seminar is to convey elementary relationships in planetary gears for the operating behavior as well as for design/calculation and construction.
It focuses on the most common design, consisting of a sun, planets, and ring gear. The knowledge gained can largely be applied to other designs.
Seminar contents
Seminar day 1: operating behavior
