Functional Properties of Stepless Toothed Transmissions

Abstract

Gear adaptive stepless transfer can be created in the form of a kinematic chain with two degrees of freedom having a mobile closed loop which consists of cogwheels. The closed loop imposes constraint on motion of links and transforms a kinematic chain into the mechanism with one input. Such mechanism gets property of automatic adaptation to variable technological loading. Laws of interrelation of force and kinematic parameters are resulted. The design of gear adaptive transfer is presented.
