An Analytic Method and Application on Design Planar Six-Bar Mechanisms with an Approximately Equal Velocity Ratio Transmission

Abstract:

An analytic design method on an approximately equal velocity ratio transmission mechanism is presented. The mathematical principle is that a compound function produced by two basic functions, let its one order differential is equal to an assigned constant on the special point, and then two to three order derivatives of the compound function are all zeroes, thus one algebraic equation is got, its solution defines the mechanism dimensions. This a principle not only sets up a new design method on approximately equal velocity ratio mechanisms but approximately equal velocity is independently designed. A design example shows that this method is simpler and transmission characteristics are better than optimization method.
