GETRIEBE ZUR UEBERTRAGUNG DER ROTATIONSBEWEGUNG VON EINER WELLE AUF EINE ANDERE.

摘要

A mechanism for transmitting rotational motion from one shaft to another includes a link (13) which is constrained to move in an orbital path, an input shaft (10) is connected to the link so that rotation of the input shaft (10) will cause the link to move in its orbital path and a second shaft (11) parallel to the input shaft (10) is connected to the link (13) so that orbital motion of the link (13) will cause the second shaft (11) to rotate. At least one of the shafts (11) is connected to the link (13) by a mounting (30, 32) which is capable of movement in the plane of the link (13), said mounting making frictional engagement with the link (13) so that when a lateral stress above a predetermined value is applied between the shaft (11) and link (13), the mounting will move laterally to relieve the stress, said predetermined value being above the lateral stresses experienced during normal operation of the mechanism.
