Planet Gear Train: Find RPM of Gear 4 w/o Carrier

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the RPM of Gear 4 in a planetary gear train without considering the carrier speed. The user highlights a specific scenario where the carrier is positioned between Gears 4 and 6, raising questions about the implications of excluding the carrier's RPM from the calculations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the role of the carrier in determining the output speed of planetary gear systems.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of planetary gear train mechanics
  • Familiarity with gear ratios and RPM calculations
  • Knowledge of the role of the carrier in gear systems
  • Basic principles of rotational motion
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the mathematical models for calculating RPM in planetary gear trains
  • Study the effects of carrier speed on gear output in planetary systems
  • Learn about different configurations of planetary gear trains
  • Explore software tools for simulating gear train dynamics
USEFUL FOR

Mechanical engineers, automotive engineers, and students studying gear systems who need to understand the dynamics of planetary gear trains and their calculations.

Guys, I've just come across this question regarding planetary gear train.

I was asked to find the rpm of a gear within the train. but the solution given doesn't include the carrier speed within the calculations. I was asked to find the rpms to gear 4. The carrier is between 4 and 6.

What are the reasons that it is so?

Sorry that I couldn't show you guys the picture.
