Planetary gear systems have several advantages over traditional gearboxes with parallel axis gear shafts. The planetary gearbox arrangement also creates greater stability due to the even distribution of mass and increased rotational stiffness. However, gears in planetary gear systems occasionally have a short-life due to wear and breakage by repetitive load during operation time. In this study, we evaluated variables of the strength design for each part and conducted structural analysis of seven cases of the planetary gear system. The result of structural analysis was applied to shape optimization method and obtaining the weight lightening designed value. Subsequently, the planetary gear system was performed to ensure the durability of gears during operation time with miner's rule.

E-Actuator is an essential part of an eVGT, it receives the command from the main ECU and controls the vane. An e-Actuator failure can cause an abrupt change in engine output and it may induce an accident. Therefore, it is required to detect anomalies in the e-Actuator in real time to prevent accidents. In this paper, an e-Actuator fault detection method using on-line parameter identification is proposed. To implement on-line fault detection algorithm, many constraints are considered. The test input and sampling rate are selected considering the constraints. And new recursive system identification algorithm is proposed which reduces the memory and MCU power dramatically. The relationship between the identified parameters and real elements such as gears, spring and motor are derived. The fault detection method using the relationship is proposed. The experiments with the real broken gears show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. It is expected that the real time fault detection is possible and it can improve the safety of eVGT system.

In this paper, the clamping type forging of helical gears has been investigated. Clamping type forging is an operation in which the product is constrained to extrude sideways through an orifice in the container wall. Punch is cylindrical shaped. The punch compresses a cylindrical bilet placed in a die insetr. As a consequence the material flows in a direction perpendicular to that of punch movement. The forging has been analysed by using the upper-bound method. A kinematically admissible velocity field has been developed, wherein, an involute curve has been introduce to re4present tooth profile of the gear. Numerical calculations have been carried out to investigate the effects of various parameters, such as module, number of teeth, helix angle, friction factor and initial height of billet on the forging of helical gears. Some firgiing experiments were catrried out with aluminium alloy to show the validity of the analysis. Good agreement was found between the predicted values of the forging load and obtained from the experimental results.

In general, there has been a lot of research concerned about the gear noise known to be proportional to gear transmission error for external gears likewise spur, helical gear, and hypoid gears. But, In the case of planetary gear set, gear noise study is insufficient because of the difficulty of designing, manufacturing, and understanding of the its mechanical system. This study is aimed to develop the transmission error measurement equipment for the planetary gear sets used in the automatic transmission. By comparing the results of the transmission error and noise objectively, user could select the optimized planetary gear set which has quiet noise level before manufacturing the automatic transmission.

This study dealt with effect of the grinding in SCM420H planetary gears. The hardness, tooth profile, lead and roughness of the gear surface can be improved by grinding process. Therein, the grinding techniques are widely used especially as one of the physical surface improvement methods. As the results, the gear grinding process reduced vibration and noise, and increased the life of the gear. And the gear grinding improved the surface of gear tooth in a short time and low cost, thus, it is a very important process in manufacturing industry. But nowadays, it is hard to find the detail information of gear grinding process. The test piece is a planetary gear which is used in the industrial machine. The manufacture process of the test piece contains hobbing, shaving, carburizing and grinding. This study investigated the effect of the grinding process to the physiognomy and the fatigue strength of test piece which was made by SCM420H.

Wind power is a type of clean energy source which does not produce carbon dioxide. The wind turbine industry is considered as a major growth industry in many countries. The main cause of wind turbine failure arises in the wind turbine gearbox, and the main type of damage occurs in the bearings and gears. Therefore, predictions of gear and bearing damage are very important to ensure the reliability of the wind turbine reducers used in these systems. In this research, in order to optimize the wind turbine reducer, a series of simulations and redesigns was done using the tool RomaxDesigner. The RomaxDesigner model was used to analyze the bearing life of the duty cycle for a 5 MW wind-turbine pitch drive and to calculate the load in operating states. The reducer was designed to satisfy the life requirement by analyzing bearing damage and calculating the stress values of the main parts of the reducer.

기어 맞물림 동적 힘은 축과 베어링을 통해 하우징에 전달되어 소음으로 발생하므로, 베어링 강성은 하우징의 최종 전달자로서 기어 소음을 제어하는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 이 논문은 스퍼기어를 위한 볼 베어링의 강성을 유도하고, 베어링 하중과 반경 방향 틈새를 고려하여 강성을 계산하였다. 그 강성을 이용하여 3 자유도 모델의 스퍼기어계의 운동방정식에 적용하여 모드 특성을 해석하였고, 유한요소법으로 검증하였다. 그 결과 베어링 하중이 클 때보다 작을 때는 틈새에 따라 베어링 강성의 변화가 많았다. 베어링 강성은 저주파 고유 진동수에 영향을 주었고 기어 맞물림 주파수는 고주파 고유진동수에 영향을 주었다.

Forging of internal involute gears with alloy steel has been analyzed by means of upper bound method. Kinematically admissible velocity fields for forging of internal gear were proposed. It was assumed that the shape of free flow surface during forging operation is a straight line perpendicular to the plane of symmetry. Using the suggested velocity fields, forging loads and relative pressures were calculated by numerical method. Consequently forging die should be successfully designed without fracture or failure during forging operation. Experiments were carried out with the designed die and SCM415 alloy steel as billet material. The calculated loads were compared with experimental one and they are in good agreement with experimental inspections. As a result, the calculated solutions would be useful to predict the loads and the designed die is suitable for forging of internal involute spur gear with alloy steel. The forged gear is measured to be KS 4 class and its class should be improved by subsequent working such as shaving after forging operation.

The object of this work is to develop the measurement method of the transmission error of the helical gears. For this purpose, experimental set up is designed by 3D CAD software. It consists of the motor, inverter, powdered brake equipment, torque sensor and helical gearbox. In this study, tangential linear accelerometers were used as the methods for the transmission error measurement. the acceleration signals are transmitted to the signal conditioners through the slip rings and the transmission errors are obtained by a specially designed circuit board. The transmission errors are analyzed in the frequency domain. As a result, The periodicity of the transmission error is confirmed in the mesh frequency and its harmonics. The magnitude of harmonic components is very dependent on the natural frequencies of the gear system. It usually increases with the rotational speed. However, it does not always increase with torque.

In this study, focusing on reducing a load in forming helical gears, the extrusion using two-step processes for manufacturing helical gear is proposed. The process is composed of the extrusion step in which spur gear to be used as a preform in next step is formed, and the torsion step in which the preform of spur gear is formed to helical gear. Upper-bound theory for the two-step process is applied and compared with the results of experiment. The result of upper-bound solution has a good agreement with that of the experiment and the FE analysis. The newly proposed method can be used as an advanced forming technique to remarkably reduce a forming load, to prolong a tool life, and to replace the conventional forming process of helical gears. Results obtained from the extrusion using two-step processes enable the designer and manufacturer of helical gear to be more efficient in this field.
