Dual-Ratio Planetary Gear

Dual-Ratio Planetary Gear component

            

 

The Dual-Ratio Planetary Gear is based on the Planetary Gear component. It has a set of two co-rotating planet gears with different radii where the first planet meshes with the sun gear and the second planet meshes with the ring gear. Both Ring/Planet(1) and Planet(2)/Sun ratios must be provided. For planets/carrier bearing damping calculations, a set of Planet(1) and Planet(2) gears is considered is one body.
