DESIGN AND CALCULATION OF PARAMETERS OF GEAR TRANSMISSIONS WITH VARIABLE PARAMETERS AND FLEXIBLE ELEMENTS

The article discusses an analysis of theoretical and experimental studies focused on investigating the operating conditions, durability, and laws of motion of gear transmissions. It has been established that increased wear in gear transmissions caused by the deflection of the driven element leads to a reduction in transmission efficiency. One of the main drawbacks of several existing devices is the decrease in the applied influence on the teeth of the driven element during operation, as well as the generation of an additional resisting torque. To ensure stable and uniform operation of the driven shaft, the device must provide sufficient vertical mobility. While maintaining structural simplicity, the inclusion of an elastic element into the gear transmission system is proposed.
