Ideal planetary gear box
Mechanics/Rotational/Components
The IdealPlanetary gear box is an ideal gear without inertia, elasticity, damping or backlash consisting of an inner sun wheel (middle left), an outer ring wheel (right) and a planet wheel (top left) located between sun and ring wheel. The bearing of the planet wheel shaft is fixed in the planet carrier. The component can be connected to other elements at the sun, ring and/or carrier flanges. It is not possible to connect to the planet wheel. If inertia shall not be neglected, the sun, ring and carrier inertias can be easily added by attaching inertias to the corresponding connectors. The inertias of the planet wheels are always neglected.
