Epicyclic Gears

This Android App is designed to perform an initial calculation of a simple epicyclic arrangement with a sun, ring, planets and carrier.
Define the motion parameters, teeth number of the different elements and the speed and torque to obtain different results as:
  • Total ratio of the system.
  • Relative motion to the carrier.
  • Geometry verification.
  • Absolute Speed of each element.
  • Cycle counting, Tooth Contact per minute of each gear
  • Factorization value of Sun and Ring Gear
  • Torque results of each element.
Different animations are included within the app, just click at the image at the right side of the motion selection.
Also, the definition of "factorization" is described in this video (click to the link)

 App Images:



A link to a youtube video created for each motion definition is available when clicking over the gear image.

Three different types of motion were created:

Planetary:


Solar :


Star:


Many links and lectures are recommendable, I have found interesting for basic and intermediate study the following links and Standards:
