ANALYSIS OF THE SPEEDS OF A PLANETARY GEAR TRAIN
TARIFFS BY TABULATION.
INTRODUCTION.
A planetary gear or epicyclic gear is a gear system
(the gear train) consisting of one or more external or planet gears
that rotate around a central gear or sun. Typically, planets are mounted
about a mobile arm or planet carrier that can also rotate in relation to
Gear systems can also incorporate the use
of an external annular gear or crown, which meshes with the planets. Another
extended and equivalent terminology is the one that considers the planet as the central axis,
with the gears around them being satellites coupled to a holder.

FIGURE 1. TYPES OF GEAR TRAINS
What we frequently wish to know about an epicyclic train is the
relationship between the angular velocity of the driven wheels and the angular velocity
of the frame that supports the axes of the wheels.2
One way to obtain the reduction of a planetary train is the tabular method.
which is based on the superposition property of linear systems. That is,
if x1y x2they are solutions unique solutions of algebraic systems of equations
non-homogeneous linear A x =b1y Ax =b2, respectively, then x1 + x2is
the unique solution for Ax =b where b=b1 +b2 .2

To better understand the use of this method, the following is illustrated.
example:
Yes:
N1 =240 teeth.
N2 80 teeth.
N3 =60 teeth.
In order to facilitate the understanding of the exercise development, the following are used
the following steps:
1.- The train is wedged and the whole mechanism turns a revolution in
the direction of the clock hands, so that we start to fill
our table like this:

2.- Arm 4 gets stuck and gear 1 turns one turn in the opposite direction
counterclockwise, or in a negative direction, and the number of turns
from the other gears it is noted in the table, arm 4 gets stuck and gear 1 rotates
a turn counterclockwise, or rather in the direction
negative, and the number of turns of the other gears is recorded in the table.
Where it is determined that:

First we assume that element 4, being embedded, does not rotate, reason
by which its angular velocity!4will be equal to zero:
! 4 = 0; the arm does not rotate because it is embedded.
Once the fitting of the arm is assumed, we turn to the outer gear (1)
a counterclockwise turn (negative), this step
helps us relate the gears to determine their angular velocities;
and in turn, it facilitates the interpretation of the rotation directions of each gear:
! 1=1: spin in the negative direction.
So to determine the angular velocity of gear 3 (!3 ), we apply
the transmission ratio between gear 1 and gear 3:
! 3 N1 240
! 1 = N3
So!3= 60
! 34
Similarly, to determine the angular velocity of gear 2, apply
Let's find the transmission ratio to determine the angular velocity!2:
