Gear

Realistic model of a gearbox

Important: The Gear component has been deprecated. Instead, use the Gearbox component with its Use Support Flange parameter set to true.

	Description
	This component models the essential effects of a gearbox, in particular, gear efficiency, gear elasticity, damping, and backlash. The inertia of the gear wheels is not modeled. If necessary, inertia must be taken into account by connecting an Inertia component to the left and/or the right flange.

Connections

Name	Description
${flange}_{a}$	Flange driving shaft
${flange}_{b}$	Flange to driven shaft
bearing	Gearbox housing

Parameters

Name	Default	Units	Description	Modelica ID
$r$	$1$	-	Transmission ratio $(φ_{a} / φ_{b})$	ratio
$η$	$1$	-	Gear efficiency	eta
${friction}_{pos}$	$[0, 1]$	-	Positive sliding friction characteristic [w, $τ$ ] ( $0 \leq w$ )	friction_pos
$peak$	$1$	-	$peak \cdot {friction}_{pos [1, 2]}$ is the maximum friction torque at zero velocity	peak
$c$	$1 \cdot 10^{5}$	$\frac{N \cdot m}{rad}$	Gear elasticity (spring constant)	c
$d$	$0$	$\frac{N \cdot m \cdot s}{rad}$	Relative gear damping	d
$b$	$0$	$rad$	Total backlash	b
