Experimental Investigations on Churning Losses Generated in a Planetary Gear Set

Year: 2017

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This study aims to experimentally investigate churning power losses generated by a planetary gear set which is splash lubricated. To this end, a specific test rig has been used to operate a planetary gear train under unloaded conditions in various configurations within a range of the planet-carrier rotational speed. Churning loss is isolated from the measured drag torque and the effects of several parameters (rotational speed, temperature, oil sump level, planet number…) on this source of dissipation are quantified. Beyond the influence of speed or oil level, it is concluded that the number of planets is of primary importance on churning power losses.
