Description
Summary:Very few experimental studies of full pinion engagement planetary gear trains have been published; therefore, their behavior under load is little known. In this paper, the results from the experimental studies of the above-mentioned gear trains are presented, whereby the bending stresses in the planet pins are displayed both in time and frequency domains by means of fast Fourier transform (FFT). The experiments are conducted on a mechanical closed-loop test rig, which was designed especially for the experiments. The bending stresses in the pins are measured by strain gauges, which are mounted in a double half-bridge configuration, thus showing the stresses in two perpendicular planes. The torque applied is 200 Nm. The radial run-out errors of the planets are measured and their relation to the pin loads are analyzed.
