EPICYCLIC GEAR TRAIN APPARATUS

Technical Description: The Gear Train is any combination of gear wheels by which motion is transmitted
from one shaft to another shaft. In epicyclical gear trains, the axes of shafts on which the gears are
mounted may move relative to a fixed axis. It is a motorized unit consisting of a SUN gear mounted on
input shaft. Planet gears meshes with the annular gear. These planet gears are mounted on a common
arm to which output shaft is fitted. Loading arrangement is provided for loading the system and to
measure holding torque

Learning Objectives/Experiments:
 To measure epicyclical gear ratio between input shaft and output shaft (Actual and Theoretical).
 To measure input torque, holding torque and output torque
.Required for Operation:
 Electricity Supply: 220 V AC, Single Phase, 0.5 kW.
 Floor Area: 1.5 x 2 m.3

Technical Specifications:
 Internal Type Epicyclical Gear Train
 A Compact gear train (industrial)
 Motor: Variable speed motor, 1 HP.
 RPM Measurement: Digital RPM Indicator with proximity
switch.
 Speed Control Unit: Variable Speed Drive for varying
the speed of motor.
 Rope brake arrangement to measure output torque and
holding torque.
 The whole set-up is ingeniously designed and schematically arranged on a powder-coated rigid
structure

Control Panel:
 Digital RPM Indicator
 Standard make On/Off switch, Mains Indicator etc.
 Speed Control Unit.

Scope of Delivery:
1 Self-contained " EPICYCLIC GEAR TRAIN " Apparatus
1 Instruction Manual consisting of experimental procedures, block diagram etc.
