Abstract

As is known, friction mechanisms are used to convert rotational motion between parallel shafts or whose axes intersect with a constant or variable gear ratio. In the latter case, they are called variators. The operation of friction mechanisms is based on the use of friction forces that occur between its moving parts. Since the mechanisms under consideration work on the basis of the use of friction forces, it is clear that first of all it is necessary to determine the amount of normal pressure between the rollers required to transmit a given torque. Therefore, the work unravels and refines the kinematic calculations, geometric and force parameters of the variators. A study of the influence of force parameters on the performance of friction gears of different types and ensuring their durability. New approaches to solving these problems are proposed. Recommendations for the choice of friction roller materials are given. It is stated that the materials for friction rollers must have a high coefficient of friction, contact strength, wear resistance, as well as a high modulus of elasticity to reduce the elastic slip of the rollers.
