Method for design computation of the planetary cam drives

The planetary cam drives are widely used in various industries. However, any standardized methods for their computation are missing compared to the involute drives. The paper proposes a method for design computation of the planetary cam drives similar to the well-known method for computing the involute cylindrical gears described in GOST 21354–87. Graphs for determining the drive main parameters in a dimensionless form, formulas for identifying the load factors and a method for assigning geometric dimensions of the gear elements are obtained. The paper presents an example of design computation of the planetary cam drive.
