Design and analysis of multi-angular gearless transmission system

Abstract

The present work mainly focuses on finding an alternate option of gear drives for various power transmitting applications in different sectors. In this study, the gearless power transmission mechanism created to transmit the power at various angles between the driving shaft and driven shaft, ranging from 0 to 180 The system is modeled and analyzed in CREO5.0 to check the feasibility of the system. The speed analysis revealed that the speed ratio of the output shaft to the input shaft remained 1:1 during operation. The von mises stress analysis indicated that the design is safe under specific loading criteria. It observed from deformation analysis that the maximum displacement has occurred at the corner of the elbow link. The failure index analysis of the elbow link revealed that the inner curvature of a link is subjected to the maximum possibility of failure.
