Infinitely variable motion control (IVMC) using Transgear gear assemblies provides rotary motion control without any requirement for connecting or disconnecting gear meshes or use of a clutch. A bevel, miter, ring or spur gear Transgear assembly, defined as a gear assembly having three of variables, input, output and control assigned in a manner so as to provide, for example, one of accumulation of inputs and direction control. A four variable Transgear gear assembly may be one of a spur gear Transgear gear assembly having an additional ring gear surrounding a set of planetary gears or a bevel gear Transgear gear assembly having a double bevel gear, an outer bevel gear, and a bevel gear meshing to the outer bevel gear. A five variable spur/ring gear assembly may comprise an additional outer ring gear whereby a first additional outer ring gear is meshed with a first planetary gear of a set of two planetary gears and a second additional outer ring gear is meshed with the second planetary gear of the set of two planetary gears. An N variable spur/ring gear assembly may be constructed having a multiple diameter output gear with matching planetary gears and multiple control ring gears. |
