Optimal Design of an Epicyclic Gear Train for Efficient Power Transmission

Abstract

Epicyclic gear trains, known for their compactness and versatility, play a crucial role in various mechanical systems for power transmission. This study aims to propose an optimal design methodology for epicyclic gear trains to maximize efficiency and minimize size constraints. Key parameters such as gear ratios, number of teeth, and gear arrangements are optimized using mathematical models and simulation techniques. The proposed design approach considers factors such as load distribution, torque transmission, and mechanical losses to achieve an efficient and reliable gear train configuration. Through comprehensive analysis and iterative optimization, the proposed methodology ensures improved performance and durability of epicyclic gear trains in diverse applications.
