Abstract
This paper presents some of the general practical problems involved in the design of a high-reduction compound planetary gear drive and examines such a drive for high speed ratio, power circulation and efficiency. The performance of the drive with respect to efficiency of 50–60 per cent has been obtained under various running conditions such as speed, load and temperature. An attempt was also made to balance internal forces in order to increase efficiency. At first sight, the number of factors involved appears to make it impossible for a general analysis of the problem to be made, but broad conclusions have been drawn.
