Item 0977

MAKE: SynchroLite ~ P.T. - Reduction - Secondary - Gear - Planet - 16 DP - 23 tooth

Drawing:

 

Notes:

All calculations are based on 25 horsepower engine.

The thickness of the sprocket under the teeth is less than the tooth whole depth but the rim in the middle and the extended sides (to hold the bearings) should make up for this. If a needle bearing is used then there is plenty of metal under the teeth.

Durability increase as a result of internal gearing (Hamilton p. D-4); 3:1 ratio is factor of 2.0; 4:1 ratio is a factor of 1.66. The actual ratio is 3.52 so the factor will be 1.83. 5.5 hp * 1.83 = 10.06 hp. Safety Factor - Durability = 4 * 10.06 = 40.26. 40.26 / 24.4 = 1.65. This is between the planet and ring not planet and sun - I would think.

 

Safety Factor - Durability

4 planetary gears

= 4 * 5.5 = 22.0; 22.0 / 24.4

= 0.90

 

Safety Factor - Strength

4 planetary gears

= 4 * 8.3 = 33.2; 33.2 / 24.4

= 1.36

Gear may end up with 1 less tooth and larger pressure angle? May 17, 2000

Thrust washers could position the assembly and handle incidental thrust. An example of a special bearing arrangement of this nature is shown in [Source - MDD] Fig.32.

Use of Helical Gears: (Consider using helical gears to reduce weight. - September 30, 2001)

If the above gear is produced as a helical gear then;

The durability changes approximately by an 80% increase.

The strength changes approximately by an 45% increase.

This means that; The weight can be reduced by the use of a narrower face width.

Parameters: (This is under development?)
