FIELD: mechanical engineering. ^ SUBSTANCE: flexible sprocket comprises hub, rim, and flexible members that connects them and arranged over the periphery of the sprocket. The rim and hub have conical-cylindrical openings arranged concentrically over the periphery parallel to the axis of the sprocket. The conical parts of the openings face internal sides of the rim and the hub. The flexible members are made of flexible cylindrical rods and arranged in the conical-cylindrical openings of the hub and rim. The space between the hub and rim allows the flexible rods to be flexibly bent and the rim to be self-adjustable in the plane of the gearing. ^ EFFECT: prolonged durability. ^ 1 dwg |
