Conclusion
Need Of Gearless Transmission

Todays world requires speed on each and every field.

Engineers are constantly confronted to the
challenges of efficient transmission of power.
Gears are costly to manufacture.
It is needed to further increase the efficiency of
transmission which cannot be done using geared
transmission
Gearless transmission mechanism is capable of
transmitting power at any angle without any gears
being manufactured.
What Is Gearless Transmission?

Also called elbow mechanism

It is an ingenious link mechanism of slider and

kinematic chain principle.

Transmits power at any angle without utilising gears

Working Principle

Transmits the power between two shafts whose axes

are at 90 degree through bent links.

Three links slide relatively according to the motion

given to input shaft.

Due to this, the rotational motion of input shaft is

converted into sliding motion of links which is then
converted to rotational motion of the output shaft.

Part Dimensions

Cylinder 60mm(dia.)

Shaft 15mm(dia.)

Links 10mm(dia.), 170mm (length)

Bearings 15mm (inner dia.)

Applications

Tower clocks

Gang drilling( multi spindle drilling)

Lubrication pump for CNC lathe

Angular drilling between 0- 90 degree

Movement of periscope in submarines

Used in vehicles (go-carts)

Hand driven machines like juice makers sheet folding

machines etc.

Geared Gearless

Cause of failure-
Pitting, corrosion, erosion and fatigue have
severe effect.
Replacement of entire gear set needs to be
done. Cause of failure-
Pitting, corrosion, erosion and fatigue
effect less severely
Replacement of defected pin only

ADVANTAGES

Complete freedom of Interchangeability.

More efficient than gear.
Power could be transferred to any desired angle.
Ease of manufacturing.
Misalignment of shafts can be tolerated to some
extent.
Simpler cooling system
Low cost of manufacturing.
Portability of parts.
LIMITATIONS

Does not work at very low starting torque.

Improper hole drilling could pose much problem.

Sudden load would cause mechanism breakdown.

Links are to be replaced after certain cycle time.

Speed ratio is always constant 1:1.

Future Aspects
Torque bearing capacity can be improved.

Flexible bent links can be used.

Has a bright future in automation and robotics.

Can be used in automobile industry in near future.

Conclusion
The model works correctly as per
the design
With the help of this system, we
can efficiently reduce the cost in
power transmission and
Further advancement in this
technology can be made.
