Cycloid gearboxes for marine power plants of high capacity
EDN: YQSQHC
Abstract
The article considers the possibility of using cycloid gearboxes in high capacity marine power plants.
The work is a continuation of theoretical studies of cycloidal gears. The power ratios in the links and nodes of the K-H-V type cycloidal gear transmission are obtained.
For a visual assessment of the design and dimensions of the transmission, a sketch has been created in the Mathcad. The sketch of the transmission with the distribution of forces in the contacts of the elements, and the forces loading the bearing is given in the article.
A sketch layout of a cycloidal gearbox with a K-H-V transmission, designed for a power of 50 MW, has been completed. A comparison was made of the designs of cycloidal transmissions of the same power, with the same gear ratio and torque on the output shaft.
