Planetary Gear Motion Simulation using SOLIDWORKS

Objective: To simulate the motion of Planetary Gear using SOLIDWORKS

Procedure:

  • The Pitch circle diameter and number of teeth is measured for the planetary gear by inspecting the dimensions (No. of Teeth = 16, Pitch circle diameter = 40 mm)
  • The Sun gear, Planetary gears & Ring gear are imported from the SOLIDWORKS toolbox
  • The Planetary gear assembly is created
  • Using SOLIDWORKS motion analysis, Angular velocity is applied to the input gear and analysis of the angular velocity is done for the output gear

Parameters:

Sun gear: Module = 2.5, No. of Teeth = 14, Pitch circle diameter = 35 mm

Ring gear: Module = 2.5, No. of Teeth = 46, Pitch circle diameter = 115 mm

Carrier: Module = 2.5, No. of Teeth = 16, Pitch circle diameter = 40 mm

Assembly of the Planetary gear:

Case 1: Input is provided to the Sun gear and output analysis is done for the planetary gears

Input RPM: 200

Output: Angular velocity of the planetary gear

Case 2: Input is provided to the Ring gear and output analysis is done for the planetary gears

Input RPM: 200

Output: Angular velocity of the planetary gear

Case 3: Input is provided to the Sun gear and output analysis is done for the Ring gear

Input RPM: 200

Output: Angular velocity of the Ring gear
