Split Ring Planetary Gearbox Python Script Application and Calculator

This is a collection of Python scripts for designing a Split Ring Planetary Gearbox.

This is a really simply python script that helps design split-ring planetary compound gearboxes. The _gui.py script runs a Tkinter gui that allows for easy use and exports your desired number of solutions to a .csv file

Python code - This application requires knowledge of Python installation and code execution.

Helps generate planetary gear combinations:

• number of teeth for sun, planets, outer ring
• output gear ratio
• module/sizes

Only works with split-ring compound planetary gears that are driven via first stage sun gear and output through second/last stage's outer ring, AKA split-ring
