Abstract

Reliability for design is defined in the form suitable for design parameters definition and it can also be a specific indicator of component integrity in exploitation conditions. Service life of gear unit component is limited by failure of function indicated by minimal elementary reliability for design. This reliability presents a feature of gear unit component and design constraint. Integrating the elementary reliabilities of components into the gear unit reliability structure provides overall unit reliability which is the indicator of gear transmission units quality and integrity.

The aim of the study is to present the integrity of planetary gear transmission unit using it in the case of bucket wheel excavator traction group. We will also explain and promote the new term Reliability for Design in the form of the indicator of gear unit integrity.

Keywords: planetary gear transmission units, reliability for design, bucket wheel excavator, property based design
