RigidNoLossExternal
External rigid gear connection model
Library
PlanarMechanics/GearComponents
Description
In this model an ideal gear connection is modelled.It is based on the paper [Linden2012]However, no gear elasticity is modelled.
The planar model of an external gear wheel is used to buildcomplex gear models. There is a corresponding example ofSpurGear.
Using different parts from the planar library, it is possible tobuild complex gear systems. However, especially since no elasticityis included, kinematic loops can lead to complications and shouldbe handled with care.
This model is suitable for:
- Kinematic analysis of gear systems and gear-like systems.
- Modelling of multiple gear stage models with clutches.
