Modeling and Performance Analysis on a Test Platform for Transmission

A transmission test platform for performance analysis was designed based on 3-D modeling and simulation technology which were used to provide a theoretical comparison basis for the following experiments. Design of key part of the transmission system, such as couplings which were customized. Modeling of test platform was built to study the mechanical structure in theory. Static structure and modal analyses were carried out to evaluate the performance of planetary and worm gearing. Compare analysis results between planetary gear and worm gear reducer which include backlash and vibration phenomenon. At last, we make a conclusion that the planetary gear has less vibration and noise than the worm gear in this type of reducer in theory, and we will give some reasonable explanation.
