GEARLESS TRANSMISSION

GEARLESS TRANSMISSION
INTRODUCTION:

Power transmission for skew shafts is with

the help of either crossed helical gear or
worm gear or hypoid gears in a machine, but
the manufacturing of these gear is very
complex, power loss in gears due to sliding
motion and the shaft orientations is very
limited means not for every shaft orientation
because of standardization of gears, so need
arises for a better system.
WHAT IS GEARLESS
TRANSMISSION
Also called Elbow Mechanism
It is an ingenious link mechanism of slider
and kinematic chain principle
Transmit power at right angle without
utilising gear

NEED FOR GEARLESS
TRANSMISSION
Todays world needs speed on each and every
field.
Engineers are constantly confronted to the
challenges of efficient transmission of power.
Gears are costly to manufacture.
It is needed to further increase of efficiency
of transmission which cannot be done by
geared transmission.
Gearless transmission mechanism is capable
of transmitting power at any angle without
any gears being manufactured.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Transmits the power between two shafts
whose axes are at 90 degree through bent
links.

Three links slide relatively according to the

motion given to input shaft.

Due to this,the rotational motion of the input

shaft is converted into sliding motion of links
which is then converted to rotational motion
of output shaft.
DIAGRAM
ADVANTAGE
Very little friction
More efficient than gear
Easy of manufacturing
Low cost of manufacture
High efficiency between input and output
power shafts
Power loss is minimum
APPLICATIONS
Lubrication pump for C.N.C. lathe machines.
The elbow mechanism is used for movement
of periscope in submarines.
The elbow mechanism was first use in the
year 1685 for the famous London tower clock
named bigben.
LIMITATION
Does not work at very low starting torque
Improper hole drilling could pose much
problem
Sudden load may cause mechanism
breakdown
Speed ratio is always constant 1:1
CONCLUSION
The model work correctly as per design
With the help of this system ,we can
efficiently reduce the cost in power
transmission and
Further advancement in this technology can
be made
