Description
Block Gear Box It is an ideal, non-planetary gearbox with a fixed gear ratio. The gear ratio is defined as the ratio of the angular velocity of the input shaft to the angular velocity of the output shaft.
The gearbox is described by the following equations:
,
Where:
-
— angular velocity of the input shaft.
-
— angular velocity of the output shaft.
-
— gear ratio.
-
— torque on the input shaft.
-
— power on the input shaft.
-
— power on the output shaft.
Pay attention to the minus sign when calculating . One of the rules of drawing up mechanical models is that the power flowing through the port is positive if it is dissipated, and negative if the component generates energy to the system.
The S and O connections are mechanical rotary ports connected to the input and output shaft of the box, respectively. The positive directions of the block are from S to the reference point and from the reference point to O.
Ports
S — input shaft
rotational mechanics
Mechanical rotary port, corresponds to the input shaft.
O — output shaft
rotational mechanics
Mechanical rotary port, corresponds to the output shaft.
Parameters
Gear ratio — gear ratio
5.0 (by default)
The ratio of the angular velocity of the input shaft to the angular velocity of the output shaft. It can be either positive or negative.
Initial value of input shaft incoming torque, N·m — the initial value of the torque on the input shaft
0.0 (by default)
The initial value of the torque on the input shaft.
Initial value of output shaft incoming torque, N·m — the initial value of the torque on the output shaft
0.0 (by default)
The initial value of the torque on the output shaft.
