Comparative Analysis of Dynamic Characteristics of Spherical and Eccentric Transmissions with a Double-Ring Satellite

Abstract

The article presents the design and discusses the operating principle of a planetary roller gear with a satellite performing spherical motion. A comparative analysis of gears of eccentric and spherical types with the same kinematic and comparable geometric parameters was carried out. The comparison criterion is kinetic energy. Dependencies were obtained to determine the kinetic energy for both types of gears on the gear ratio, angular velocity of the driving link and geometric parameters. It has been established theoretically and confirmed by the results of computer modeling that the use of a spherical gear instead of a flat one makes it possible to reduce the radial dimensions of the drive, reduce energy consumption (starting torques) by 3...5 times and dynamic pressures in the satellite supports by 1,8 times.
