Small Business Innovation Research Self-Aligning Bearingless Planetary – SABP Transmission Technology, Inc. Lincoln Park, NJ INNOVATION Transmission concept arranged so that all planets are internally load balanced and self aligning • ACCOMPLISHMENTS • Designed, made, and successfully tested six prototype gear drives rated at 500HP with input speed up to 8,000 RPM and gear ratio’s of 7 to 1, 16 to 1, and 20 to 1 per module • Results of testing verified engineering analysis, demonstrated stability and viability of the gear drives, and showed performance improvements • COMMERCIALIZATION • This gear drive arrangement can be used in all non-angle gear drive applications where speed change of 6 to 1 or higher is required • As a result of a consulting arrangement with Transmission Technology, a commercial company developed and is using SABP in off-highway vehicles Transmission assembly and it’s installation in Helicopter Gear Box • GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS • Numerous government applications can use SABP drives including various aircraft applications, main propulsion gearing for ship and submarines, and ship and submarines steering • Can be used in various science and outer space projects that require a multitude of gear drives Glenn Research Center Aeropropulsion 3-043 1983 Phase II, NAS3-24539, 10/99 NASA Contact - Dave G.
