Transverse Oscillation of Precise Cable Drive System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Precise cable drive has been developed as an alternative transmission element to gearbox, belt and pulleys, chains and sprocket in Electro-Optical Tracking system. Precise cable drive has several significant advantages including backlash free, high stiffness, high efficiency, no lubrication etc. This paper develops analytical methods to predict the transverse oscillation frequency of precise cable drive to enable designers to better assess dynamic performance in the design study phase. Theoretical formulation of transverse oscillation equation for precise cable drive is carried out based on Hamiltons principle taking into account flexural rigidity of cable. Furthermore, the transverse oscillation frequency is obtained from the transverse oscillation equation assuming small and linear vibration. Parametric studies are conducted to evaluate the relationship between the oscillation properties and cable drive parameters.
