STRENGHT AND DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A STRUCTURAL NODE LIMITING THE MULTI-OUTPUT GEAR MECHANISM

Abstract

The rapidly advancing technological development leads to designing and researching a new multi- output gear mechanism. The investigated new double-output gear mechanism has two output coaxial shafts located against the input shaft on the other side of the gearbox. The gear mechanism achieves high gear ratios. Its limiting structural node is the output stage, to which the gears belong. The problem is addressed through the analysis of the stress resistance of tooth flanks in contact and bending. The content of the paper is a comparison of analytical computations with the modal analysis on the model. We expect that new findings will be beneficial for further optimization of the gear mechanism.
