Re: Designing a Planetary Gearbox to increase speed?

Ns * Ss + Nr * Sr = (Ns+Nr) * Sc

where N is number of teeth and S is speed, s, r, and c are sun, ring, and carrier.

If the speed of the Ring (Sr) is zero then:

Ns * Ss = (Ns + Nr) * Sc

or

Sc= Ns / (Ns + Nr) * Ss

(This is for a simple planetary)
