ELEUTHERO-STROPHE






There is a patented Mechanism, named "ELEUTHERO" ("ELEUTHERO-STROPHE", that means an independently rotating hub, is the proposed full name for this brand new Mechanism) for the convenience of this presentation, referring to a configuration which transmits endless rotation from a shaft onto a stationary frame to a shaft onto an endlessly rotating carrier, or vice versa, PURELY MECHANICALLY and INDEPENDENTLY (KINEMATICALLY and DYNAMICALLY) of the rotation of the carrier, inserting THREE only additional moving parts between its input and its output.

A very important application, also, of this Mechanism is on a robot, replacing the speed reducer currently in use, using the "EXTREME", and/or transmitting power from the base onto the first arm, independently of the rotation of the first arm with respect to the base, or from the first arm onto the second one, independently of the rotation of the second arm with respect to the first one, and so on, using the "ELEUTHERO".






ELEUTHERO ON ROBOT





The most significant advantages for this application are:



The use of ONE only moving part for the speed reducing mechanism which moves the arm with respect to its preceding one.

The use of one power unit on the base, while this power is transmitted onto the first arm, independently of the rotation of the first arm with respect to the base, or from the first arm onto the second one, independently of the rotation of the second arm with respect to the first one, and so on.
This advantage is rendered more significant when the POWER UNIT IS HEAVY and even more when the ROTATION OF THE ARM MUST BE ENDLESS.
