Abstract
Link mechanisms with single degree-of-freedom, in which links are connected with only lower pairs cannot completely generate the specified ideal output motion, and dimensional synthesis of them is very complicated. Therefore, we propose the spatial rolling contact pair (SRCP) which can generate the specified relative motion between links, and try to solve the above problems with the proposed SRCP. In order to design the SRCP, a method to specify relative spatial rolling motion between adjacent pairing elements and to determine shapes of both pairing elements which can generate that motion is proposed. An example of the SRCP is then designed and manufactured. The prototype of the SRCP is experimentally confirmed to generate the specified relative motion of pairing element. Finally, a spatial 4-bar mechanism having 1 DOF is synthesized with the SRCP. It can completely generate the specified output motion.
