Abstract
An alternative method for kinematic and power analysis of compound gear train is presented, which uses the torques and lever analogy of a given gear train. The method combines the accuracy of the Willis analytical method with the clarity of the graphic method of Kutzbach. Unlike these methods, the torque method allows determining not only the gear ratio, but the magnitude and direction of power flows, and hence the determination of efficiency of a given compound planetary gear train. The application of the method is illustrated with example of novel arrangement of complex nine-speed change-gear. Structural, kinematic, and power (efficiency) analysis are made. A software for these analysis facilitation is developed. A numerical example is presented and discussed.
