ABSTRACT: In this paper, a three dimensional model of a helical planetary gear train for determining critical frequencies is
proposed. Transverse, torsional, axial and rotational motions of the mounted gears are considered. The governing
equation of motion is derived. An analytical expression of the time varying gearmesh stiffness is presented and
its mean value was used to solve the eigenvalue problem whose gyroscopic terms are neglected.
One application of the model is conducted on a planetary gear train with four planets, critical frequencies for
the system are determined and their sensitivity to the helix angle has been examined. It was found that the
natural modes can be classified into three classes depending on their modal displacements and that the helix
angle affects significantly the natural frequencies.
