Efficiency Estimation and Optimization of Multistage Compound Planetary Gearboxes and Application to the Design of the Active Skin Propulsion of EELS
Nikola Georgiev,Nikola Georgiev
This paper outlines a novel versatile geometric method for the estimation of the efficiency of multistage compound planetary gearboxes. The approach is based on a virtual pitch point modeling that allows for accurate representation of the gear interaction with forces applied at the pitch point. When this modeling is applied to all gears in a multistage compound planetary gearbox, the gearbox effic...
