Compound planetary gear problem

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a problem involving compound planetary gears, where the user seeks assistance in calculating the final speed and torque of an engine connected to a ring gear with specific teeth configurations. The user has provided details about weights, gear dimensions, and desired outcomes but is unsure how to apply the relevant formulas for these calculations. There is confusion about whether to calculate the number of teeth randomly or follow a specific formula, as well as how to approach the torque calculations for the mechanism. The user aims to achieve a rotational speed of 1600 RPM to power an LED, relying on gravity to assist in the mechanism's operation. Overall, the user is looking for guidance on starting the calculations and understanding the necessary formulas for this compound gear system.

Hi, I need a little help with this problem with compound planetary gears. I don't know how to apply the formulas for this specific type of placement.

I need to know the final speed of the engine knowing the number of teeth z1 = -104 ring gear which is internal, z2,3,4 = 22 for small planets, z5,6,7 = 65 for large planets, z8 = 17 for the small sun, z9 = 95 for the big sun and z10 = 13 for spool gear.

A weight of 12kg will be attached to the ring gear on one side and 2kg of counterweight on the other from a height of 2 m. I want to calculate the speed and torque that the engine will have if I want the weight to fall within 20 minutes from the 2m.

And i also need the ratio that the system have. The modulus of the wheels is 0.8 and the pressure angle is 20. I also know that the spool from the z10 have diameter equal to 30 mm and the one from the motor have 15 mm. These are the data I know and don't really know how to apply it. Can someone help me?

It looks like this is a continuation of another thread that you already have going in the schoolwork forums. Please continue posting your work in that thread. This new thread is closed.

Hi, I've been pretty busy for the last few weeks but I've managed to make a scheme. I'm not good at this. It's the first time I've received something like this to do. so it's probably wrong. That's why I need some clarification if anyone offers to give it to me.

I don't know how to start the calculations for this mechanism. Should I calculate the number of teeth? How do I do this if I don't have the mechanism and I'm just trying to create it from scratch? Do I randomly put the number of teeth or do I have to follow a formula? What is that formula for this mechanism?

After finding out the number of teeth how should I create the formulas to find out the torque for my mechanism? do I break down the mechanism in the part that contains sun gear, planet gear, ring gear and the part that contains the sprocket for the belt and the belt? Do I calculate them when they are decomposed or do they have to be calculated together to find out the torsion or the rest of the parameters? And what would be the formula that emerges in any case?

I really don't know how I should start and where to start. a few formulas would help me answer these questions. This mechanism aims to increase the rotation enough to rotate the dc motor at a speed high enough (1600 rpm) to turn on an LED. Basically, a rope is glued to a ring gear to which a weight and a counterweight are attached. Gravity helping the mechanism to rotate, ring gear is the input. From this ring gear the rest of the components should increase their speed until the engine starts that led of about 15 lumens. I know that for this LED it takes 1600rpm to start with the engine.

How do I find the required initial speed with which the ring gear must rotate when the weight is falling. I'm very stuck because I don't know what to start with and what are the formulas needed for this kind of mechanism with just this information I have. I only own what the mechanism looks like as a drawing. but without number of teeth or other dimensions

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
