A marine turning gear is the main auxiliary machine that enables the disassembly of and maintenance on the main engines. In this study, a marine turning gear based on a helical planetary reducer was developed through analysis of a marine turning gear based on a spur planetary reducer. Nonlinear numerical analysis was performed to determine the ideal contact ratio between the sun gear and the idle gear. Based on this, the surface durability, tooth bending strength, and contact ratio were calculated. In addition, the helix direction was selected to utilize the existing bearings. Gears were manufactured based on the helical gear design values, and the turning gear was evaluated using the FTA standards of MAN Co. Ltd. As a result, a lifetime of 3,000 to 5,000 hours was verified, the maximum torque measured was 105kNm, and the efficiency was measured to be 87.4%.

The differential planetary gear reducer as a main component of the concrete mixer driving mechanism requires a strong torque to mix concrete compounds. As this component is currently dependent on imports, it is necessary to develop it by conducting a study on vibration analysis and the resonance problem. The noise and vibration of a concrete mixer reducer increase owing to the transmission error of planetary gears, and the damage of components occurs owing to the problems in design and production. In this study, the tooth-passing frequency is calculated to evaluate the noise and vibration of a mixer reducer, and a fast Fourier transform (FFT) analysis is conducted through a vibration test using an acceleration sensor. The vibration of the reducer is measured at three points of input and output of the shaft and planetary gear housing with fixed and variable revolutions per minute. The operating conditions of gears and bearings are evaluated by performing the FFT analysis, and the resonance problem is verified. The results show that No. 1 pinion and ring gears revolve disproportionately. The amplitude values appear high, and the wear of tooth faces occur in tooth-passing frequencies and harmonic components of No. 1 and No. 2 pinion-ring gears. Therefore, we conclude that design changes in the reducer and a correction of tooth profiles are required.

The structure and operating principle of the 2-speed shift reducer were explained, the allowable bending stress value of the material was compared with the analysis result through FM structural analysis program, and the average stress distribution value of von Mises was performed on the gear root atmosphere. The structural safety of the 2-speed planetary gear reducer was verified through FM structural analysis. The natural frequency was calculated by applying the specifications of the planetary gears of the 2-speed gearbox, and the critical speed of resonance was calculated by calculating the natural frequency and the transmission error of the engaged gear pair. As a result of analyzing the critical speed, since it is formed higher than the actual operating speed range, it is considered safe because there is no resonance problem due to the suggested specifications of the planetary gears of the 2-speed shift reduction.

In this study, parameters and requirements of an 120kW class monorail planetary gearbox was analysed and the adaptive planetary gearbox design was selected. The specification of the sun gear, planetary gear and carrier was set and the profile & lead was optimized. The mechanical efficiency of the optimized one and the original one was observed. Dynamo-tester system was used to observe the mechanical efficiency of the planetary gearbox. A dynamo unit was connected with the planetary gearbox which straightened through the motor by a coupling. The standard tooth shape planetary gearbox and modified tooth shape planetary gearbox were used as test pieces and the rotation speed was set from 600 to 6000rpm with 600rpm, 2.5min one step. In order to check the mechanical efficiency of the planetary gearbox, the tests were done as follows. 1) The power loss between driving motor and dynamo tester. 2) Temperature variation by different rotation speeds. 3) Noise variation by different rotation speeds.

In this study, the structural analysis and the modal analysis are conducted to investigate the stress level, the deformation characteristics and the natural modes of the casing of a planetary gear reducer for a 800kW grade pulverizer mill. The casing is subjected to the load, 2800 kN, from the lump coals in the pulverizing process. Because of the symmetry, the half portion of the reducer casing is modeled for the stress analysis. But the full model is used to find out the eigenvalues and natural modes for the modal analysis. The contact conditions are applied between the thrust pad bearing and the adjacent contacting parts. The results shows that the casing structure has the sufficient strength and stiffness to support the load under consideration. ANSYS version 15 is employed to perform the numerical study.

Gear tooth micro-geometry modifications include the intentional removal of material from the gear teeth flanks, so that the shape is no longer a perfect involute. If the gear shapes are perfect, then the gear tooth meshing is better, therefore the gears will transmit input torque in a more efficient manner without the generation of high frequency engine fluctuation noise. In this paper, we study tooth micro-geometry optimization of rear gear set in 2 speed planetary gear reducers. Analysis revealed problems which are need of modification. Based on the results, tooth micro-geometry was used to deal with load distributions on the rear gear set.

This study was to develop a simulation model of a compound planetary gear reducer for the final driving shaft using a gear analysis software (KISSsoft, Version 2017, KISSsoft AG, Switzerland). The aim of this study is to analyze transmission error and the tooth load distribution through micro-geometry using the simulation model. The tip and root relief were modified with Micro-geometry in the profile direction, and crowning was modified with Micro-geometry in the lead direction. The transmission error was analyzed using the PPTE (Peak to Peak Transmission Error) value, and the tooth load distribution was analyzed for the concentrated stress on the tooth surface. As a result of modifying tip and relief in the profile direction, the transmission error was reduced up to 40.7%. In the case of modifying crowning in the lead direction, the tooth load was more evenly distributed than before and decreased the stress on the tooth surface. After modifying the profile direction for the 1st and 2nd planetary gear train, the bending and contact safety factors were increased by 31.7% and 17%, and 18.3% and 12.5% respectively. Moreover, the bending and safety factors after modifying lead direction were increased by 59.5% and 32.7%, respectively for the 1st planetary gear train, and 59.6% and 43.6%, respectively for the 2nd planetary gear train. In future studies, the optimal design of a compound planetary gear reducer for the final driving shaft is needed considering both the transmission error and tooth load distribution.

The usage of electric forklift truck is gradually increasing due to the convenience at conveying and arranging the materials in the industrial field. In this study, the author designed and suggested the optimum driving system and load tester which both of them are the most important part of the forklift truck. The planetary gear is chose to driving system because it makes big power even though the motor size is small. The gear teeth of planetary gear were designed and the designed planetary gear was tested considering the yield strength and the abrasion of gear teeth. The B-Type electric brake which consists of multiple plates and operates with non-magnetic type was connected with a single shaft in the driving system. So, it can be applied at the sudden braking situation which has the torque increment. And it has the compact size and excellent durability Load tester can give the various levels of load to the planetary gear of driving system in the electric forklift truck and it can also measure the levels of the load which were applied. Therefore, we can measure the noise, torque and perform the durability, vibration tests using load tester. It will be economical because many kinds of test can be performed using reasonable priced load tester The driving system of electric forklift truck which has sufficient competitive can be manufactured using our designed planetary gear reducer with reasonable price. The designed load tester can use for checking the performance of other reducers, as well.
