Experimental verification of the power calculation of linear planetary pins

The article provides an experimental verification of the calculation of loads in a linear planetary gear train. The existing calculation method assumes that the deformations occurring in the transmission are proportional to the forces. However, due to the difficulty of determining the stiffness of the transmission elements, it is difficult to estimate the force. Therefore, the test was performed indirectly with respect to deformations at various loading parameters. For verification, a test bench was developed on which deformations under load in different transmission positions were measured. Based on the test results, it was concluded that the method of power transmission calculation at loads close to nominal gives an accuracy of ± 7%, which allows it to be verified.
