Gearbox
Realistic model of a gearbox (based on LossyGear)
Library
Mechanics/Rotational/Components
Description
This component models the essential effects of a gearbox, in particular
- in component lossyGear
- gear efficiency due to friction between the teeth
- bearing friction
- in component elastoBacklash
- gear elasticity
- damping
- backlash
The inertia of the gear wheels is not modeled. If necessary, inertia has to be taken into account by connecting components of model Inertia to the left and/or the right flange of component Gearbox.
