Research of thermal deformation of a kinematic wave reducerwith a modified tooth profile during the work in low temperature conditions

In the conditions of the Extreme North working resource of mechanicaltools and machineelements is reduced because of bad weather conditions in this region. At a low temperature materials are exposed to deformation which is capable to break operability of the mechanism. In connection with the high requirements to the accuracy of a kinematic wave reducer, it is necessary to conduct a research for the purpose of comparison of value of thermal deformation and the appointed admission on a reducer detail. If value of thermal deformation is more admission, then it can lead to jamming of the mechanism. The research was conducted for a collected reducer and separately for not loaded driver gear

Research of the load distribution in the wave kinematic reducer with a modified tooth profile and dependence of the load abilities in proportion to its gear ratio and overall dimensions

Nowadays, there are many types of reducers based on work of gear trains, which transfer torque. The most popular reducers are with such type of gearing as an involute gear, a worm drive and an eccentrically cycloid gear. A new type of the reducer will be represented in this work. It is a wave reducer with the modified profile of the tooth close to the profile of the tooth of Novikov gearing. So such reducers can be widely used in drives of difficult technical mechanisms, for example, in mechatronics, robotics and in drives of exact positioning. In addition, the distribution of loading in gearing of teeth of a reducer was analyzed in this paper. It proves that the modified profile of the tooth allows distributing loading to several teeth in gearing. As a result, an admissible loading ability of a reducer becomes higher. The aim of the research is to define a possibility to reduce overall dimensions of a reducer without changing the gear ratio or to increase the gear ratio without changing overall dimensions. So, the result of this work will be used in further research
