Determination of the fine-module teeth cutting section in the eccentric free running mechanisms

Normal forces use to transfer the load makes it possible to increase load capacity and reliability of the free running mechanisms. Normal forces in the eccentric free running mechanisms are realized in engagement of the fine-module teeth that are cut on the outer cage inner surface and the outer surface of the eccentric rings. To ensure correct operation of the mechanism in jamming and wedging, value of the fine-module teeth cutting section angle should be selected from the equality condition of the radial clearance between the outer cage teeth and the eccentric ring in the entire working section. To solve the problem, calculation scheme is proposed and mathematical model is obtained that describes relationship between the fine-module cutting section angle and the mechanism geometric parameters. The nature of the main geometric parameters influence (radius, eccentricity, radial clearance, module, etc.) on the value of the teeth cutting section angle was established. It is shown that eccentricity provides the greatest influence on the working area size, radial clearance and module influences are less pronounced.
