Kinetostatic and mechanical efficiency studies on cam-controlled planetary gear trains (Part II) – Design and experiment

Abstract

The aim of this study is to verify the validity of the proposed approaches for kinetostatic and mechanical efficiency analyses reported in Part I. The detailed procedure of the analyses is illustrated with an example. Furthermore, an experimental setup is built to validate the theoretical analysis. The experimental results show that the theoretical analysis agrees well with the experimental testing. Therefore, the proposed approaches can be applied effectively to the kinetostatic and mechanical efficiency analyses of CCPGTs.
