Abstract

The paper presents the results of experimental researches of the basic working capacity characteristics of pulsed variable-speed drives - gear ratio, efficiency factor, and reliability of the eccentric free-wheel mechanisms When conducting research, the main working capacity parameters of the pulsed variable-speed drive (independent factors) changed according to the design of experiment in the range: the load applied to the output shaft was from 250 to 2.750 N·m; adjustable gear ratio - from 20 to 180. It was established that the reliability of the eccentric free-wheel mechanisms is guaranteed when making mechanisms of 100Cr6 steel with hardness not lower than HRC_Э 58…62 with a module of at least 0.75 mm. It was shown that the yield surface, which characterizes the change in the gear ratio of the pulsed variable-speed drive, can be described by a model using first-order polynomials. It was established that with increasing load, a slight increase (at 1.0...9.9%) occurs in the adjusted gear ratio, which has a character close to linear. It was concluded that with an increase in load, the increase in efficiency factor is non-linear and equals 1.8...2.6 times, an increase in the gear ratio causes its linear decrease by 1.13...1.64 times in the dependence close to a linear one. Empirical dependences are obtained to determine the magnitude of the gear ratio and efficiency factor.
