Abstract
This paper studies the load balancing problems caused by manufacturing and assembly errors of 2K-H planetary gear train. Based on the geometric equivalent relationship and spring mechanical model of load transfer, the relations between the load balancing of planetary gears and the mesh clearance and meshing stiffness are derived. Besides, the vector method is also derived to calculate the meshing clearance which is a result of the deviation of the component center caused by manufacturing errors and assembly errors. On the basis of the meshing clearance calculation formulas, the balanced load structure based on floating members is analyzed, and the results show: 1) when the number of planet gears is [Formula: see text], the floating of the basic members can compensate for the errors of the planet wheels; 2) when the number of planet gears is [Formula: see text], the errors of the planet wheels cannot be compensated by floating the basic components, and the compensation can only be made through the floating of the planetary gear. In addition, a number of recommendations are proposed to improve the performance of the planetary gear train set.
