The GUNT Dynamic Behaviour of Multistage Planetary Gears trainer enables in-depth exploration of the kinematics and dynamics of two-stage planetary gear systems. Designed for hands-on engineering education, this system allows analysis of torque distribution, transmission ratios, angular acceleration, and mass moment of inertia under controlled experimental conditions.
Product Features
- Planetary gear system featuring multiple planet gears rotating around a central sun gear.
- Planet gears mounted on a carrier and engaged with an internally toothed ring gear for torque distribution.
- All major gear elements (sun gear, planet carrier, and ring gear) can act as driver, driven, or fixed components.
- Applications include automotive engineering, shipbuilding, turbines, and general mechanical systems.
- Trainer includes two planetary gear sets, each with three planet gears for multistage configuration.
- Ring gear of first stage connected to planet carrier of the second stage.
- Four different transmission ratios achievable by fixing different components.
- System acceleration via cable drum and adjustable weight set; weights raised with handwheel.
- Ratchet mechanism prevents accidental weight release; clamping roller freewheel enables continued rotation.
- Shock absorber safely halts the weight after release.
- Transparent protective cover ensures safe operation while maintaining visibility.
- Force measurement through deflection of bending beams to determine effective torque.
- Inductive speed sensors on all drive elements measure rotational speeds in real time.
- USB data transfer to PC; software included for data logging, diagram generation, and angular acceleration analysis.
- Effective mass moments of inertia calculated from measured angular acceleration data.
