Kinematic Analysis and Design of Eccentric Rolling Transmission
The paper shows an idea of a new type of mechanical gear — the eccentric rolling transmission. The main parts of that transmission are rolling bearings, mounted eccentrically on the input shaft which cooperate with the special-shaped cam wheels mounted on the output shaft. The number of rolling bearings is equal to the number of cam wheels. On the basis of kinematic analysis equations of the curve which describe a shape of cam wheels were determined for two different cases: in the first one the directions of shafts rotations were opposite, and in the second they were the same. Kinematic analysis of the novel transmission was carried out to determine maximum gear ratio depending on the adopted input parameters. As a result of analyses a design procedure of the eccentric rolling transmission and CAD model were prepared.
