Studies on the Noncircular Planetary Gear Mechanisms

Abstract

The profile of the pitch curve of external and internal noncircular gears, and the restricting conditions to avoid the interferences were analyzed, and the designing conditions of the mechanisms were decided. Then, the noncircular planetary gear mechanisms were synthesized as intermittent motion mechanisms, and the noncircular gear shaper was made by way of experiment and gears were cut. And then, the mechanisms were produced and the static characteristic was investigated.
