Dynamic behaviour of multistage planetary gears (GL 212)

Dynamic behaviour of multistage planetary gears (GL 212)

four different transmissions can be configured

Code GL212

Description:

  • The planetary gear is a special type of gear drive, in which the multiple planet gears revolve around a centrally arranged sun gear.
  • The planet gears are mounted on a planet carrier and engage positively in an internally toothed ring gear.
  • Torque and power are distributed among several planet gears.
  • Sun gear, planet carrier and ring gear may either be driving, driven or fixed.
  • Planetary gears are used in automotive construction and shipbuilding, as well as for stationary use in turbines and general mechanical engineering.
  • The GL 212unit allows the investigation of the dynamic behaviour of a two-stage planetary gear.
  • The trainer consists of two planet gear sets, each with three planet gears.
  • The ring gear of the first stage is coupled to the planet carrier of the second stage.
  • By fixing individual gears, it is possible to configure a total of four different transmission ratios.
  • The gear is accelerated via a cable drum and a variable set of weights.
  • The set of weights is raised via a crank.
  • A ratchet prevents the weight from accidentally escaping.
  • A clamping roller freewheel enables free further rotation after the weight has been released.
  • The weight is caught by a shock absorber.
  • A transparent protective cover prevents accidental contact with the rotating parts.
  • To be able to determine the effective torques, the force measurement measures the deflection of bending beams.
  • Inductive speed sensors on all drive gears allow the speeds to be measured.
  • The measured values are transmitted directly to a PC via USB.
  • The data acquisition software is included.
  • The angular acceleration can be read from the diagrams.
  • Effective mass moments of inertia are determined by the angular acceleration.
