Abstract
Epicyclic gears also known as Planetary Gears is a system which consists of planet gears, a sun gear, and a ring gear. The Sun gear is mounted and rotated about the centre and meshed with planet gears which are connected with the help of a carrier. These planet gears are meshed with ring gear. This type of gear has a wide range of application in wrist watches, automobiles, and hoist. This paper focus on epicyclic gear In Wind Turbine. Necessary calculation for design is done and the Gear System is modelled in Solidworks. Analysis of the gear system carried out through Ansys. Simulation for total deformation, von-Mises stress, Shear stress for two cases for two different materials. Finally results were concluded on the best material.
