Two Stage Epicyclic Gear Apparatus- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
Consists of 2 identical epicyclic gear
stages with 3 planet wheels each. They are coupled in a way that the
ring gear of the first stage is connected to the planet carrier of the
second stage. Up to 4 different transmission ratios can be realised by
blocking single wheels. The gears are driven using a cable drum and a
variable set of weights that are lifted using a removable crank.
Unwinding
is prevented by a detent pawl. To determine effective torque, the
deflection of a bending beam is used to measure forces. The speeds of
the stages are measured by inductive sensors and can be recorded as
speed-time diagram using a chart recorder. Effective moments of inertia
are determined via angular acceleration. A transparent safety cover
prevents unintentional contact with rotating parts.
