Abstract

The paper presents a study on determining optimum gear ratios of mechanical driven systems using a two-stage helical gearbox with second stage double gear sets and a chain drive. In the study, an optimization problem with the objective function as the minimum system length was solved. In addition, the effects of the input parameters including the total gearbox ratio, the wheel face width coefficient, the allowable contact stress and the output torque on the optimal transmission ratios were evaluated by conducting a simulation experiment. Moreover, several equations to find the optimum gear ratios were proposed.
