Abstract
The paper presents a dynamic model of a planetary gear train based on nutating bevel gears. The goal is to determine the conditions under which the mechanism do not transmit shaking inertial forces and moments to its frame. The paper first presents system geometry and kinematics; then an analytical model of its dynamics is developed and explicit balancing conditions are obtained. Analytical results are the verified through multibody simulations of a sample geometry. A discussion about balancing geometries is finally carried out.
