Магнитная передача

Номер: RU0000207680U1

Полезная модель относится к радиальным устройствам передачи момента вращения постоянными магнитами и может быть использована в устройствах, предполагающих длительный ресурс эксплуатации в необслуживаемых помещениях, например на радиохимических производствах по переработке отработанного ядерного топлива или иных опасных производствах с ограничением доступа к обслуживанию оборудования. Техническим результатом заявляемой полезной модели является радиальная магнитная передача высокой мощности, способная передать момент вращения на один или несколько потребителей, компенсировав нагрузку на подшипники валов. Технический результат достигается тем, что магнитная передача содержит ведущий вал с расположенным на нем ведущим диском и ведомый вал с расположенными на нем двумя ведомыми дисками. Ведущий диск состоит из двух обойм из немагнитного материала с постоянными магнитами и диска из магнитопроводного материала между ними. Каждый из ведомых дисков состоит из обоймы из немагнитного материала с постоянными магнитами и магнитопроводного диска. Магниты в обоймах ведущего и ведомых дисков установлены с одинаковым шагом.

Wave gear device having three-dimensional contacting involute positive deflection tooth profile

Номер: US20130081496A1
Принадлежит: HARMONIC DRIVE SYSTEMS INC

In a wave gear device, an involute tooth profile with the low pressure angle α (<20°) is employed as a basic tooth profile of external teeth of a flexible external gear. In the principal section of the external teeth, the tooth depth thereof satisfies 2κ 0 mn=2(1+c) mn (deflection coefficient κ 0 =1+c, 0<c<0.5), which is larger than the standard one. The shifting of the teeth which takes into account coning is performed along the tooth trace direction of the external teeth, so that straight portions of a rack tooth profile on the respective sections perpendicular to the axis in the tooth trace direction of the external teeth are conformed as viewed along the tooth trace direction. The rack tooth profile of the involute tooth profile is a straight line.

A wave gear device ( 30 ) uses, as a bearing which supports a first rigid internally-toothed gear ( 31 ) and a flexible externally-toothed gear ( 33 ) so as to be capable of rotation relative to each other, a composite roller bearing ( 38 ) equipped with a first roller ( 53 ) and second roller ( 54 ) for thrust bearing use and a third roller ( 55 ) for radial bearing use. Compared to a cross roller bearing or an angular bearing, the composite roller bearing ( 38 ) can be implemented as a highly rigid bearing in a small installation space. The first rigid internally-toothed gear ( 31 ) and the inner ring portion ( 51 ) of the composite roller bearing ( 38 ) are formed integrally as a single component, so an attachment part for connecting these members is not necessary. A highly rigid, flat wave gear device can be achieved.

Принадлежит: Harmonic Drive Systems Inc.

A silk hat-type strain wave gear device has a crossed roller bearing for supporting an internal gear and an external gear so as to allow relative rotation. A first gap part between the inner and outer rings of said bearing is sealed by an oil seal and a second gap part thereof is in communication with a gear-side gap part on the outside of the external gear. A bearing seal separates the second gap part from the gear-side gap part. The bearing seal prevents excessive inflow of lubricant from the gear-side gap part into the second gap part. Excess lubricant that has flowed into the bearing can flow back from the second gap part to the gear-side gap part. Excess lubricant in the bearing is prevented from leaking through the oil seal to the outside. 1.

Worm gearing with harmonic drive or strain wave gearing primary

Номер: US20160084366A1
Принадлежит: Cone Drive Operations Inc

A gear system wherein a harmonic drive or strain wave gearing set is efficiently and effectively coupled to a worm drive, where the harmonic drive or strain wave gearing serves as the input and the worm drive serves as the output. By using the harmonic drive or strain wave gearing set as the primary, a very large reduction ratio is achieved in a right angle package with high torsional stiffness. Further, at high worm ratios, the system can be non-back driving. At low ratios, worm gearing can be highly efficient. This, combined with the harmonic drive or strain wave gearing set being used as the primary, provides a high ratio, highly efficient gear system.
