| Abstract: | Clearances and
misalignments alter the performance of kinematic chains and gear trains. Errors
are usually classified as position error and transmission error, position error
is the error in angular position with respect to the ideal position. Backlashes
in gear trains and joint clearances in linkages produce position error while
the transmission error is caused by the misalignment. The gear trains may have
self-locking tendencies (similar to singular positions in linkages). There are
a huge number of distinct linkages and planetary gear trains with specified
number of links and degree-of-freedom. Hence, it is necessary to compare them
in order to select the best possible chains or gear trains. An attempt is made
to compare distinct gear trains from the view points of position and
transmission errors. |
