Construction and Design
The Three Stage Epicyclic Gear, ProDynami 1358, is built as a wall mounted unit consisting of three coupled epicyclic gear sets. Each set is formed by sun gears, a satellite gears set, a common support of the satellites, and an external ring. Two graduated discs are located at the input and output shafts. Different mechanical pins simulate the pilot valves used to brake the different planetary components. The shafts of the unit are made of stainless steel. The discs and gears are made of aluminum to facilitate the experiments. The frame is anodized aluminum, and the panels are made of painted steel. The pinions are made of aluminum and are mounted on ball bearings to reduce losses due to friction, making the practical exercises easy to perform. The unit provides three forward speeds and one reverse speed.
