Improvement of design parameters of planetary multipliers and reducers, using specialized author’s software for joined gears drives

Abstract

The present work discus two indicative cases from the practice, in which the final results significantly exceed those of the "base" multiplier and the „initial“ reducer. The constructions are promising for the development of electricity generation from tides, respectively - for the electric hoist industry. The first reconstruction includes detailed analysis and substantial changes of the entire product, focusing on important changes to its structural and technological parameters that will make it feasible. At the same time, in the both projects, using author 's specialized software, multi-variance design and parallel analysis of the results good solution very near to their optimal values was found. The additional goal of the authors is to share how this approach and tools, combined with successful machine-building design systems, can contribute to raising the level of all power gears drives.
