Abstract

Friction drives with intermediate wheels are in many ways advantageous compared with those without. Intermediate wheels can generate the correct pressure-force relationship automatically. However, a designer must know all the ways in which forces can act upon such a wheel. In this paper, these ways are described for amorphous wheels. Graphs are then formed, in which vertices represent the loci of the forces acting on the wheels, and which yield the same vertex-induced permutation group as do the loci of the wheels. In any of these graphs, one can find all configurations of two-colored vertices not mappable onto each other. The technical interpretations of the vertex-colored graphs can then easily be followed.
