Abstract

The object of this paper is to present an universal model that describes the gear contact between two gears in a planar environment. The model includes elastic effects between the gear wheels. Using this model it is possible to create arbitrary spur gear connections as well as all kinds of epicyclic gearing configurations by supplying the proper external constraints. The presented model is implementated in the Modelica language and Dymola is used to do the simulations.
