A step-by-step computational procedure for estimating planetary gear train efficiency is presented. This technique is especially useful for complex gear train systems, because it does not require re-arranging the power circuit to perform efficiency calculations for different power paths. A hardware test program validating the computation is also documented. The test results correlate well with the analytical model.
