Study of Metallic Housing of the Adder Gearbox to Reduce the Noise and to Improve the Design Solution
In the manufacture of commercial trucks, used in oil installations or the army, two identical engines are used on a single chassis, whose power is summed by a gearbox, a compact metal construction, which must meet multiple operating requirements. The paper studies the behavior of such an adding box,...

| description | In the manufacture of commercial trucks, used in oil installations or the army, two identical engines are used on a single chassis, whose power is summed by a gearbox, a compact metal construction, which must meet multiple operating requirements. The paper studies the behavior of such an adding box, currently used in manufacturing, and an improved, welded solution that produces less noise and has a lower weight. The finite element method is used for modeling the gearbox in order to analyze stresses and strains and obtain a modal analysis of the system. The results obtained from the calculation are then verified by experimental measurements. The two versions are analyzed in parallel to highlight the advantages of the second version. |
