Development of Zero-Spin Planetary Traction Drive Transmission: Part 1 - Design and Principles of Performance Calculation

摘要

A novel design of planetary tapered roller traction drive was described. The design eliminated the spin motion induced sliding, offering high mechanical efficiency and improved wear performance. Principles of performance calculation have been outlined. Torque and life calculations on a186 wk (250 hp) prototype indicated a remarkable torque capacity and satisfactory durability.
