Abstract
The present paper introduces a much simplified method for the kinematic analysis of epicyclic gear drives. It is based on the concept of the existence of only two basic building blocks and their kinematic constraint equations. These can easily be found by inspection of the relevant kinematic structural diagram. A new type of notation is used which is simpler and more versatile than those of previous methods and is adaptable to depicting the kinematic alternatives of any particular drive without the need for drawing structural diagrams.
