Experimental identification of the impact of sectional satellite wheels on the load distribution in the meshing of the planetary gear in mining machines

This article attempts to solve the problem of load compensation in mesh planetary gearing, with the innovative design idea, resulting from the increased plasticity of the planet wheels (satellite). The cognitive main objective of the experimental work was carried out to identify the comparative effect of the split narrow planet gears, on the load distribution on the length of the teeth of the planet gears of the central wheel of the planetary gear. Achieving this aim, in addition to in-depth analysis, requires experimental research on a specially-built test stand and simulation tests on a solid model of the transmission using the finite element method (FEA). This article presents the concept of a novel test stand, design methodology and research on the influence of the sectional satellite wheels on the load mesh of planetary gears in mining machines.
