Step 1

Stage 1: Gear A (N1) is in mesh with Gear 3 (N3). Gear ratio (GR1) = N3/N1 = 72/20 = 3.6 Stage 2: Gear 4 (N4) is in mesh with Gear 6 (N6). Gear ratio (GR2) = N6/N4 = 64/24 = 2.67 Now, let's determine the overall gear ratio (GR) of the two-stage planetary gear Show more…

In the two-stage planetary gear train shown in Figure Q1, gear 6 is fixed and crank arms C and D are attached to the output shaft. Gears 3 and 4 form a compound wheel that rotates freely about the output shaft. The numbers of teeth in the gear wheels are as follows: N1 = 20, N3 = 72, N4 = 24, and N6 = 64. Gear A rotates at 300 r/min clockwise. Determine: 1.1 The speed and direction of rotation of the output shaft (10) 1.2 The torque required to hold gear 6 when the gear is transmitting 12 kilowatts with negligible friction losses. (4) [14]
