Integral gear assembly centrifugal compressor is critical in modern energy equipment field, which has advantages of high efficiency, lower cost and compact structure. The most important characteristic of its rotor system is its complicated dynamic characteristics due to the interaction of the multiple rotors in paralleled arrangement and coupled by different gears, which would make the performance of the equipment significantly influenced by the nonlinear characteristics of mesh force. In this paper, a dynamic model of the gear system in a five shaft integrally geared centrifugal compressor is proposed, where the time-varying stiffness, tooth backlash and the gear mesh errors are considered and the dimensionless method is applied. Then, the response characteristics and complex dynamics behaviors of the gear system are analyzed with different meshing frequencies and different loads with numerical analysis method. The result shows that the obvious nonlinear phenomena of the gear system are shown with the increasing meshing frequency. The impact between the gears could be reduced under controlled loading, which would ensure the gear system vibrate in a particular state.
