Theoretical Calculation and Simulation Experiment of Tooth Contact in Planetary Gearing with Small Tooth Number Difference

Abstract

This article focuses on multi-tooth contact existing in planetary gearing with small tooth number difference. On the basis of analyses of the meshing process of planetary gearing with small tooth number difference, it puts forward the calculation formula of contacting tooth pairs to the theoretical clearance angles and establishes the theoretical mathematical model for calculating the number of contacting tooth in the meshing process of planetary gearing. The model is used to calculate the data of certain particular planetary gearing mechanism and sort out the relationship between contacting tooth and the load distribution of tooth pairs. And the simulation experiment has been made using the ABAQUS finite element analysis software to verify the validity of the theoretical calculation formula.
