Gearbox

Gear transmissions of various sizes are used in various fields of mechanical engineering, automotive, marine, and aerospace industries according to the needs. This paper presents the modeling and analysis of the modal and harmonic characteristics of a planetary gear transmission for an elbow orthosis. Orthoses are used during the rehabilitation of patients in the postoperative period or during the restoration of lost limb functions. When modeling the planetary gear, the connection elements are made of 45 steel and PLA polylactide.

Shafts of various sizes are used in various fields of mechanical engineering, automotive, marine and aerospace industries to transmit torque according to requirements. In this paper, we simulate and analyse the modal and harmonic response of a shaft on which a satellite of a planetary gearbox for an elbow orthosis is mounted. The orthoses are used during the rehabilitation of patients in the postoperative period or during the regeneration of lost limb functions. Steel 45 and PLA polylactide were used in the shaft modelling.
