OPTIMIZATION OF THE PLANETARY DRUM-REDUCER IN THE LIFTING MECHANISM OF THE OVERHEAD CRANE
The article investigates the advantages of replacing the traditional scheme of the lifting mechanism of the overhead crane, containing a two-stage reducer, to a scheme, which uses a planetary reducer with paired satellites, which is mounted inside the drum housing. By varying the distribution of the gear ratio between the individual gear transmissions, the optimization of its parameters by the criterion of the minimum mass of the wheel group has been carried out.
