Investigation of Epicycloid Mechanism Dynamics

Abstract

A dynamic analysis of a planetary mechanism with a satellite in external engagement is presented, where the central wheel is fixed. The trajectory of a driven link of such type of mechanism allows it to use it in machines, which provides technological processes where the executive or output link carries out pulsating motion which is required during of stop of the driven link. Mechanisms of this type mainly are used in the textile industry, where the processing of a material requires the actuator to be able to make minor fluctuations with respect to the temporal position. Here mentioned, determines the necessity of solution not only problems of kinematics but also here given system’s dynamic analysis, which would be used during design of such epicycloid mechanisms. Based on the mentioned, below is given the methodology of calculation of dynamic parameters of epicycloid mechanism
