Traditional methods for mechatronics design are often based on a sequential approach, where the mechanical structure is designed first, and then fitted with off-the-shelf electric motors, drive electronics, gearheads and sensors. Finally a control system is designed and optimized for the already existing physical system. Such a design method, that doesn’t consider aspects from a control point o...

This paper presents a novel hybrid-flux magnetic gear, which integrates a transverse-flux magnetic gear and an axial-flux magnetic gear into a single unit. Compared to its conventional counterparts, the proposed magnetic gear transmits a relatively high torque density. When compared to the transverse-flux magnetic gear, this new structure employs an extra iron segment between the low-speed roto...

The development of enhanced fault detection ability for gearbox systems has received considerable attention in recent years. Detecting the gear fault easier is very important for maintenance action. This has driven the need in research for enhanced gear fault detection method. The goal is to extract periodic impulse signal from the very noise signal which mainly contains the narrowband signals....

The performance of an automatic transmission is dependent on the dynamics its components, such as clutch, planetary gear, and torque converter. In particular, clutch pressure gear output speed can affect overall transmission. this paper, It will present kinematic relations, structure, calculating impact braking brake to slip vehicle Toyota Camry used A140L. Since then, graph describing dependen...

The kinematical accuracy of robot is very important. It is induced by the rigidity of each mechanism of the robot. The paper presents a numerical method to evaluate the rigidity of worm-gearing teeth. The software, including setting-up and graphic display, could be adopted of any kind of cylindrical worm-gear drive or for spur gear drives and bevel gear drives, mechanisms which are in the robot...

Gear skiving is used as a gear finishing process to reduce distortion errors which occurred on the gears due to the heat treatment. This process is similar to gear hobbing but the difference is that the cutting tool has a negative rake angle and tooth rake offset. The present study simulates the kinematics of the cutting process with the aid of commercial CAD software and allows the precise det...

Vibration based monitoring techniques are widely adopted for monitoring the condition of rotating machinery. However, in the case of wind turbines the measured vibration is complex due to the high number of vibration sources and modulation phenomenon. Signals are generated by tooth meshing, shaft rotation, gearbox resonance vibration signatures and a substantial amount of noise. Therefore, extr...

Abstract The torsional vibration of marine propulsion shafting has been studied for more than a century. With abundant research achievements and experiences, a systematic approach of vibration calculation has been put forward for ship industrial applications. However, literature review indicates that when processing the gear transmission in the shaft line, the meshing motion has been treated as...

A study was performed to evaluate fault detection effectiveness as applied to gear tooth pitting fatigue damage. Vibration and oil-debris monitoring (ODM) data were gathered from 24 sets of spur pinion and face gears run during a previous endurance evaluation study. Three common condition indicators (RMS, FM4, and NA4) were deduced from the time-averaged vibration data and used with the ODM to ...

ABSTRACT Epicyclic gear trains are widely used in various industrial sectors due to their advantages over fixed-axis gears, such as high torque capability, compact size, differential and planetary designs, ease of adjusting gear ratios and even directions of rotation. This research focuses on planetary gearbox whose degree of freedom is one. The geometry and dynamics of the planetary gear train...
