Transmission Error Analysis of a Parallel Symmetric Geared Linkage Mechanism
Abstract Many machine systms consist of parallel symmetric mechanisms, but-the unsymmetric force transmission between two sides may often happen, due to the dimentional errors of mechanism and the clearences in the kinematic pairs. This makes a machine of low efficiency and bad power transmission capacity. In this work, as a model of a punch press, a parallel symmetric geared crank and slider mechanism is analyzed about the unsymmetric input torque and the reactions in the kinematic pairs between two sides due to the errors of input angle and radius of crank. The behavior of journal clearences during the force transmitting process are also considered. The analyzed results are well suit to the experimental results and hence have actual use to the design and manufacturing of machine.
