  • Publication number: 20220018428
    Abstract: A backlash-free double row roller cam transmission mechanism includes two passive wheels, two sets of rollers respectively pivotally arranged on the circular peripheral edges of the passive wheels, and a transmission camshaft with two opposite sides of a spiral protrusion respectively abutted against the two sets of rollers. Use the principle of oblique wedge adjustment to generate the reverse thrust of the rollers, thereby eliminating the backlash between the rollers and the spiral protrusion. All rollers can abut against the entire spiral protrusion to increase the structural rigidity and transmission load and prolong the service life. The design is conducive to achieving the cam self-locking function.
