Abstract

Hybrid finite element analysis was used to analyze the influence of bearing stiffness on the static properties of a planetary gear system with manufacturing errors. The effects of changes in stiffness were similar for most of the manufacturing errors. State variables were most affected by the stiffness of the planet bearings. Floating either the sun or carrier helps to equal load sharing and minimizes the critical tooth stress. The effects of a floating sun and carrier are similar, but it is not recommended that both float, because this can induce greater critical tooth stress. Planet bearing stiffness should be optimized. Both load sharing and critical tooth stress should be considered to determine optimal bearing stiffness.
