Determining Optimum Partial Transmission Ratios Of Mechanical Driven Systems Using A V-Belt Drive And A Three-Stage Helical Reducer

This paper presents a new study on the calculation of optimum partial transmission ratios of mechanical drive systems using a V-belt drive and a three-stage helical reducer. In the optimization study, the objective function of the optimization problem is to find the minimum acreage of system cross section. Besides, the design equation for pitting resistance of gear sets was investigated and equations on moment equilibrium condition of a mechanic system including aV-belt drive and a three-stage helical reducer and their regular resistance condition were considered. Based on the results of the optimization problem, equations for calculating the optimal partial ratios of the V-belt drive and three stages of the reducer were proposed. Using these models, the partial ratios can be calculated accurately and simply.
