5、ar ServiceThe importance of macro geometryMuchhasbeenwritteninrecentyearsonoptimizingthe “micro” geometry of gears, i.e., determining thebest profile or lead modifications. With this paperwe propose to take a step back and consider the“macro” geometry instead. By “macro geometry”wemeanthenumber of s

6、tages inthegear train,thetype of gears used, and the amount of gear ratioused in each stage. This basic architecture of agearbox, its “macro geometry”, is a fundamentalfactor in meeting the overall design objectives.Enhanced micro geometry can improve perfor-mance in the field but cannot make up for

7、 poordecision making on the basic design. Through thedesign exercise described in this paper we will alsoillustrate the interaction of “architecture” with theoverall sizeof thedrivepackage. Oneof theissueswe have with the recent emphasis on microgeometry is that the modifications can only beoptimize

8、d for a specific load condition. For manyapplications,suchaswindturbines,thegearboxwillbe subjected to a very wide range of conditions, formost of which it will not be “optimized.” If the basicgear train design is well thought out it will be lessdependent upon “optimization” for its success.Design c

9、onditionsThe design conditions selected represent asimplified specification for a 2.0 mW wind turbinegearbox,seeTable 1. Theydonotreflectanyactualdesign project and the results presented in thispaper are not intended to be applied to any futureproject. The typical wind turbine design specifica-tion

10、will include a much more detailed loadspectrum, for example, alongwith requirements forintensivegear ratinganalysis. The conditions usedfor this paperprovidea“level playingfield” bywhichpreliminary designs could be rapidly developed.The objective is to compare preliminary designs insuch a way as to

11、identify those which merit furtherconsideration on actual projects.Table 1.
