Engineering and research of a recuperative actuator of harvester cutter with planetary gear

Abstract

A technique of calculating kinematic and power characteristics of serial and recuperative drives with back-and-forth knife motion of the harvester cutter and the planetary gear conversation was examined. Identification results of elastic-damping parameters of the dynamic systems of serial and recuperative drives by experimental data of bench tests of the harvester cutter were represented.Results indicated that the recuperative actuator of harvester cutter was operable,. and its application caused the dynamic unloads of drive units and parts by four times and more.
