Abstract:
In a roller type transmission device 1, an array 11 of transmission pin rollers is press fit circularly into an inner side surface 10a of a stationary ring 10, and an array 18 of controllable pin rollers is press fit circularly into an inner side surface 13c of a rotational ring 13. To pin rollers 11a, 18a, employed are high precision cylindrical rollers or needle rollers which are usually used for a roller bearing or the like. Such is the structure that the array 11 of transmission pin rollers and the array 18 of controllable pin rollers work as inner teeth to make a backlash phenomenon minimum, rendering a pitch distance precise between the pin rollers, maintaining a uniform tooth profile with a high precision, equalizing a surface roughness and improving a meshing precision between the pin rollers 11a, 18a and the teeth 7a, 8a.
Abstract:
In a worm-rack type transmission device (1), a curved side portion (6) is provided on rack teeth (2a) of a linear rack (2) in a manner to form a part of an ellipsoidal surface (E) and twisted by a changing rate (θ) of a torsional manner a toothed streak (5) of a worm wheel (3). The worm wheel (3) brings the toothed streak (5) into engagement with the curved side portion (6) in a line-to-line contact, enabling to a self-locking property and strengthening a transmission power to insure a high transmission efficiency with a least friction loss so as effectuate a linear drive for an extended distance travel with a high precision.
Abstract:
Among six follower balls (5) aligned on the input shaft (7), the two balls (5) situated on one end side (A) always engage tightly with one engagement surface (10a), while the other two balls (5) situated on the other end side (B) always engage tightly with the other engagement surface (10b). This regulates the movement of the balls (5) against the engagement surface (10a, 10b) of the cammed streak portions (10) so as to eliminate a backlash played between the balls (5) and the cammed streak portions (10). This makes it possible to prevent the meshing noise from being induced so as to implement a low noise operation. With the point-to-point contact maintained between the cammed streak portions (10) and the balls (5), it is possible to reduce a friction therebetween, thereby improving a torque transmissibility against the follower wheel (4) to insure a smooth rotational movement with a higher precision.
Abstract:
A transmission device for converting a torque from rotary to linear movement includes a rack having a plurality of teeth and a pinion having rollers which mesh with the teeth of the rack, with pressurization provided therebetween. The rack has an arcuate tooth flank diametrically greater than each of the rollers of the pinion. The rack also has a tooth face which has an approach profile progressively moving away from the path of contact of each of the rollers along which each of the rollers would otherwise engage with the tooth face. A plurality of each of the rollers of the pinion concurrently mesh with the corresponding teeth of the rack. Another embodiment converts a torque between rotary and linear movement and comprises a pinion having a plurality of teeth and a rack having a plurality of rollers to mesh with the teeth of the pinion. The device achieves reduced transmission resistance, a silent intermeshing movement with no substantial noise and vibration, as well as reduced wear on the teeth and rollers.
