This article is a continuation of the first part of work, published in a previous edition, containing methods of patent information and computational studies of high-power transmissions. In this part planetary gearboxes with three degrees of freedom of leading manufacturers and patentees (Allison, Caterpillar, Komatsu, General Motors and others) are observed. Directions of development of gearboxes are illustrated with the use of typical solutions. Parameters of gear sets, necessary for calculations, are estimated with the use of patent data. Speed and power calculations of gearboxes are made. For evaluation of compactness and loading new quantitative indicators are entered. Proposed comprehensive indicator of loading is based on the integral accounting major data about loading, obtained by computational analysis. Relation between compactness and loading is presented. Results of investigation of gearboxes with four and more degrees of freedom and general conclusions are planned to provide in the next part of work.
