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.

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: Gearless differential speed reducer comprising a first disc secured to a casing, a second rotary disc arranged to face the first disc, sinuous grooves provided with the facing sides of discs, the sinuous shapes of which are epicycloid and hypocycloid curves determined along a certain pitch circle, spherical balls provided between the discs to position into the grooves, and an eccentric shaft connected to the rotary disc through a bearing. Rotational movement of the eccentric shaft allows the rotary disc to rotate around one end of the shaft, while going along the pitch circle, since the balls rolls along the sinuous grooves. A single rotation of the shaft permits the rotary disc to travel by the length equivalent to that of two lobes of the grooves, yielding speed reduction ratio as a formula of 2/N(N+2) when the groove of the first disc counts its number of lobes as N.
