  • Publication number: 20240159269
    Abstract: A rotary bearing assembly is disclosed and includes an input shaft, an inner-ring component, an outer-ring component and a load element. The input shaft is configured to combine a rotating shaft of a motor to provide a power input. The inner-ring component includes a gear set, wherein the inner-ring component is sleeved on the input shaft through the gear set and driven by the input shaft. The outer-ring component is sleeved on the inner-ring component through a load element and engaged with the gear set, wherein when the gear set is driven by the input shaft to drive the inner-ring component, the gear set drives the outer-ring component, and the inner-ring component and the outer-ring component are rotated relatively, wherein one of the inner-ring component and the outer-ring component is served to provide a power output, and a rotational speed difference is between the power input and the power output.

  • Patent number: 11555531
    Abstract: A cycloid speed reducer includes an input shaft, a rolling assembly, first and second cycloid discs, a crankshaft and an output disc. The first and second cycloid discs are disposed around the input shaft and driven by the input shaft. The first and second cycloid discs are located at two opposite sides of the rolling assembly, respectively. The crankshaft includes first and second eccentric ends and first and second concentric ends integrally formed as a one-piece structure and arranged sequentially. The first and second eccentric ends are linked with the first and second cycloid discs respectively. An eccentricity value is between any neighboring two of the concentric and eccentric ends. The diameters of all the concentric and eccentric ends are equal. The output disc is linked with the first or second concentric end. The output disc is a power output end of the cycloid speed reducer.

  • Patent number: 10267408
    Abstract: A linear transmission device includes a shaft, a moving member movably provided on the shaft, and a lubrication unit provided at the moving member. The lubrication unit has a lubricant container and a block. The lubricant container has a storage space which communicates with the interior of the moving member via a lubricant dispensing opening. The block is provided in the storage space of the lubricant container and can be displaced by an inertial force generated by movement of the moving member so that, during its displacement, the block squeezes the lubricant in the storage space, thereby driving the lubricant into the interior of the moving member through the lubricant dispensing opening for lubrication.

  • Publication number: 20180275640
    Abstract: A passive compliance mechanism includes a fixing member, a base and a stiffness adjustment assembly. The base is installed on the fixing member, and includes two notches and an elastic slice. A first end of the elastic slice is connected with the base. A second end of the elastic slice is located near the outer periphery of the fixing member. The stiffness adjustment assembly includes a linear guide, a sliding block and two stopping blocks. The linear guide is installed on the fixing member. The sliding block is movably installed on the linear guide. The two stopping blocks are disposed on the sliding block and synchronously moved with the sliding block. The two stopping blocks are contacted with two opposite sides of the elastic slice to clamp the elastic slice. A stiffness of the base is adjustable according to a clamped position of the elastic slice.

  • Patent number: 9995382
    Abstract: A method for determining timing of oil filling for a ball screw can determine whether the oil film in a specific time period is sufficient, falling or insufficient, and then know the optimum timing of oil filling, by comparing the sum of the slope values within respective time periods with a predetermined value. The method is further capable of determining the timing of oil filling even when the rotation speed of the ball screw changes. The method includes a step of signal acquisition, a step of converting signal, a step of defining and saving eigenvalues, a step of calculating eigenvalues, and a step of determining oil filling.
