Information

Planet Wheel

A planetary gear normally has three or more planet wheels, [1–3]. Preferably, they are equally distributed around the sun wheel.

The planet shaft has a rotational damper to include losses but also to simplify for the numerical solver.

The planet wheel has a mass that is calculated from the bodyCylinder component.

The following graphic shows the definition of the initial angles.
