    Calculation of gear positions

    pekelder, EnglishMuffin, EM is right that our torsional stiffness is high, not to mention our speed is extremely low (18 rpm at the idlers), so I can't see there will be any issue. Thanks for the reply, G

    Calculation of gear positions

    Wow! I get back to work today and find my mailbox full of new replies to my post! Thanks for all the interest. I think EnglishMuffin has given me what I was looking for, a way to determine the locations through mathematics. We would prefer that the backlash be equal, but didn't want to...

    Calculation of gear positions

    EnglishMuffin, diamondjim, thanks for your great posts. You've obviously put some thought into my question, and I really appreciate it. I think diamondjim understands more what my issue is. The two idlers have specific places they can be, and still mesh with both the internal gear and pinion...

    Calculation of gear positions

    EnglishMuffin, Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, it's more complicated than that. I've attached a schematic to show the gear configuration. Pinion 1 drives Idler 2, and Pinion 2 drives Idler 1. Pinion 1 is meshed with Idler 1 for timing. We have already determined the gear center...

    Calculation of gear positions

    I have a problem that has so far stumped our small project engineering staff. I have a gear train that comprises a pinion (pinion 1) that meshes with two idlers (idlers 1 & 2), that in turn mesh with an internal gear. Another pinion (pinion 2) also meshes with idler 1. Both idlers mesh with...
