AutoCAD Inventor :: Construct Planetary Gear Train?
May 25, 2012
I have tried in vain to construct a planetary gear train in Inventor 2011 & the spur gear generator hasn't work much since the results are far from good, I have problems getting all the gears to fit together. The Internal gear has a diametrical pitch of d=120mm & the smallest gear a diametrical pitch of d=20mm, the outcome should produce a 6:1 gear ratio. The 3 other gears only offer stabillity, but I still need to know how I get it all to fit together with my measurements?

I'm not able to get the right gear rotation in a planetary gear drive that I'm working on.
If I make the ring gear stationary and rotate the sun gear, the planetary gear engages and rotates around the ring gear
but in the opposite direction of what it should be turning. The planet to sun gear engagement rotates backwards regardless of what I do to the rotation constraint that I've applied.
If I make the ring gear free to rotate, and the planet gear stationary, the gear train rotates properly.
I've attached a mock up of the plant gear system to share and show what I'm dealing with.

I need to create planetary gear. Where should i start? I tried assembly with spur gear, but half of the times program crashes. when gears are made, they don't match.

the .iam assembly and the .ipt parts are to follow.I'm not very concerned with the teeth meshing properly at this stage. I just want to get the rotational constraints correct first. There are two situations that I am trying to work out, and I think I took care of the first one.
Situation 1: Blue carrier is grounded.
Input: Rotate purple sun gear.
Result: red planets turn the orange planets which turn the green sun(green sun to purple sun ratio = 1:1 but in the opposite direction)
Situation 2: Purple sun is grounded (Blue carrier is released)
Input: rotate the blue carrier
Result: I want the planets to still be able to rotate, and basically be driven by the purple sun which is being held. This should then drive the green sun to rotate in the same direction as the blue carrier gears.
The issue here is clearly that the red planets will not rotate since the purple sun is grounded. What should the constraints be instead of a simple rotational motion constraint? In a perfect world, I would like to not have to ground the purple sun, and only have the purple sun rotate when I specifically rotate it. The main input to this system is rotating the blue carrier gear. The purple sun is simply a control/variant.

I'm desperately trying to model a planetary gear set.I've tried using the gear design accelerator but with little success. Essentially, I would like to have the gears set up with the planet carrier held stationary and the ring and sun gears rotating in opposite directions: URL....The first 5 seconds of this video indicate what I'm after.
I know all of the gear data, but am having trouble generating the gear set.

I am looking to generate a planetary gear arrangement similar to the picture attached. I am looking for a 6:1 ratio between the outer sput gear and the inner sun gear.

I'm trying to create a few sets of planetary gears and I'm running up against a wall here.
Both sets, for simplicity, need 1:4 ratios which makes the planet and sun gears the same size. I was using 20 teeth for the planets/sun and 60 teeth for the ring which based on my understanding of the ratios, should work. My problem arises when I attempt to get all of these gears(sun, four planets, and the ring) to mesh and rotate.
I can't figure out how to make sets of more than two gears using the Spur Gear tool. When I make the other gears on their own and add them to the system, they don't inherently mesh and pass through each other. Obviously I'm missing something here because I clearly need more than a two gear system.
As a side question, is there a method(Derived Parts, maybe?) through which I can add to a gear made with the Spur Gear tool to create a new part that will still function as a proper gear?

I have a basic train that I am doing for a project at school. I am doing a fairly advanced extension of this project for some extra credit and I am wishing to make this train be animated.
Since my first name is Jackson, I decided early on to make a track design in the shape of a J (bubble letter). In my class, the only requirement was to make the train go in a straight line.
What I have now: I have two assemblies of both a train, and one of my track design. My thoughts on how to do this. I thought it would be possible to make the train follow a path or something to that effect.

I have been trying to make a train that i made roll on a track. I have seen youtube videos of people who have made their train go around a track (I have the same dimensions as the people in the video through project lead the way).
I have the train constrained to the track with a tangent constraint. How to make the wheels turn on the track (i know how to make the wheels turn, i just do not know how to make all the wheels turn in unison/together and how to make them actually move along the track instead of make the wheels turn in place.
Here is a picture

I need to drawing something similar to the attached image on either side of a "U" shaped rod.
The "U" shape is drawn using a sweep of a circle (the hatched section on the atatched image illustrates).
I just can't fathom how to draw the solid at the top oneiter side.
I've been trying to add a plane at an angle, then draw a circle & try to sweep that for each half of the "u", but after a few hours, total fail

how to construct a curved tube/pipe run?
I've created a 3d sketch with the run of the tube on it but when I click "Derived Route" although the full 3d sketch is highlighted bugger all happens. There's nothing in the "Included Geometry" folder.
Is it because of the material? I've set it to a "Tube With Bends" and set my default radius.

I am not able to convert a 2d gear to 3d gear . I have attached the 2d gear that i had created. I use Autocad student version 2012 . The gear is not getting converted into a complete solid on use of extrusion command . There are gaps in within the gear around the circle or something like that .

Im working on a miniature train project of PLTW... I have completed the train and made a track for it... but i can't figure out how to create a drive/motion constraint that would make it go along the track.
(All the files are in a zip folder that is attached)
PS... if you go to this youtube video you can see what im trying to do: [URL].......

Someone sent me a differential gear box assembly for my students to experiment with in Dynamic Simulation.It was part of a discussion on example files for students, but now I can't find the thread and don't recall who sent me these files.
In any case, we found a serious problem in one of the files.Ring mount2.ipt Sketch11 there is an arc that centerpoint should be same as projected Origin Center Point, but it is not.It is actually at the midpoint of a projected line that is very close to the origin, but not at the origin.

With the common knowledge of Inventor having a Spur gear generator, please I need calling that Spur gear generator from my API. Note that I am using VB for the programming and I have use Try and Catch for linking my API to the inventor. So on starting debugging my API, Inventor starts just as the example in the my first pluggin.
The Only thing remaining is to link my API to the Spur Gear Generator.

I am working on a project which uses two gear reducers. I have built the gear reducer and saved it as an assembly file so to import it to the assembly of the project. When i import the reducer assembly into the project assembly, the reducer is shown as a single piece, not as a mechanism which i can interact with. But if i select, by doubleclicking, the reducer, it becomes active again. The problem is that i want to connect the reducer to another gear assembly and watch it interact.

I am trying to create a simulation in which a shaft rotates and the a spur gear attached to the other end rotates with it. When I apply torque to shaft, the shaft does rotate but the gear does not. I believe I have done something wrong with the constraints.

When showing a gear in an inventor drawing they look good, but showing a helical gear SUCKS! The display, I realize, is very realistic to what you would see if you held the gear in front of you at this view point or that.
Problem is, I put a helical gear drawing on the shop floor and they machinist wonder why I have two rows of teeth on the gear (since it shows the front face and the helix'd gear teeth).
Any way to remove said offending gear teeth?

I am trying to create a spur gear in Autodesk Inventor 11 using the Spur Gears Component Generator in the Design Accelerator. I have been given diminsions for the Spir Gear as followed but don't know how to enter them because there is only a limited amount of values:
Number of teeth........10
Diametric pitch.........9.6
Circulator pitch.........0.32725
Pitch diameter..........1.0416
Outside diameter......1.25
Root diameter...........0.8006
Addendum...............0.10416
Dedendum...............0.10416
Clearance................0.163541
Whole depth............0.22466
Circular thickness....0.163625
Fillet.......................0.03125
Pressure angle........9.00
I enter in the Addendum, Clearance, and Pressure Angle and it says that the values are Ambiguous Inputs. Is there any way that I can create this gear? it doesn't matter about the Loads, Material Values, and Inputs in the Calculations tab.

Trying to make an internal gear with design generator. I fill in appropriate info, click the 'internal' check box and when I generate I still get an external gear (using component).
Tried creating a part with the proper bore (root) diameter first and use feature...it wipes out my part and creates and external gear with virtually no bore.

I am wanting a piece of info that I cannot seem to locate in the spur gear generator. I will post a picture when I have a chance, but what I am looking for is the 'W' figure (distance over 'x' number of teeth at the pitch line). What I have is a 19.xxx deg. helical gear so the best way to get this info is calculate it, but again, I dont see it in the inventor calculation.

I was trying to make a worm gear with a expanding distance every round.
So I drew it in paint (see the atachments). A picture says more than a thousand words right?
The function of this is to give more space between the bottles that come off a assambly line.
