The load sharing characteristics of the herringbone planetary transmission system are a key indicator for evaluating the bearing stability and reliability of each planet gear in the transmission system. The value of the load sharing coefficient is closely related to the manufacturing error and the assembly error in gear processing and assembly process. Therefore, it is indispensable to study the influence mechanism of these errors on the load sharing characteristics of the transmission system. Nevertheless, researches on the multi-coupling transmission error to the load sharing characteristics of herringbone planetary transmission system did not receive enough attention, but much of the single errors. Based on the centralized parameters theory and the Lagrange method, this research establishes a dynamic model for herringbone planetary transmission system and creatively proposes a study of multi-coupling error which consists of eccentric error, tooth profile error, stagger angle and assembly error. This work shows that the changing regulation of the load sharing characteristics with any one of the above errors is different. However, the load sharing characteristics become worse with the increase of multi-coupling error, in which the eccentric error plays a main role. Therefore, the error control should focus on eccentric error.
