AI Thread Summary
To calculate w(1) without a w(arm) in a gear train, it's essential to understand the relationships between the gears involved, even without a fixed gear. The absence of a w(gear) complicates the calculation, as traditional methods rely on fixed points for reference. To find the overall gear ratio, one must consider the individual gear ratios of each gear in the train and how they interact with one another. Clear definitions and relationships between the gears are crucial for accurate calculations. Understanding these principles will lead to a successful determination of both w(1) and the overall gear ratio.

Good day folks,

I hope someone can help me.

How do I calculate w(1) without a w(arm)? There is no fixed gear, so no w(gear) = 0 as per normal, which has me baffled.

Also - how do I calculate the overall gear ratio?


Regards.
