Abstract

See full text

An improved planetary gear set that includes a sun gear, planet gears, and a ring gear. The ring gear is constructed to radially deform under an operating load. Therefore, the gear set is constructed such that the base pitches of the sun gear, planet gears, and the deformed ring gear under the operating load are equalized. The ring gear is further constructed with tooth profiles designed to accommodate the deflection under the operating load. The tooth profile of the ring gear is designed using an operating pitch diameter instead of a nominal pitch diameter to accommodate the deflection.
