fulcrum gear assembly
fulcrum gear assembly
(OP)
Attempting to understand a fulcrum gear operation in the application of a patent. For two different sized meshed gears in-line where is the "fulcrum point"? Where the two gears mesh? If I have a drive gear (G1) that is internal to and meshed with a larger internal toothed driven gear (G2), where is the "fulcrum point" located? If I have a third gear (G3) that is meshed with teeth external to G2, G2 has teeth both interior and exterior to the gear ring, where is the fulcrum point of this three-gear combination? With G3 as the driven gear, how do I determine the forces on G3?

Our company produces Excel based design software which can be used to calculate the resulting forces in your mesh. Alternatively, our company can supply you with consulting time to work out the issue.
