Guide gear
In addition to transmission gears, guide gears are a main group of coupling gears . "They guide points on certain paths (guideways) or bodies through predetermined positions." "The moving links are referred to as leading or guided gear links according to their function. ... The guideways implemented by guide gears are generally Coupling curves ” , and the guided part is the coupling of the gearbox.
- Examples
Crank swing arm with trajectory of a point of the coupling (coupling curve )
Double swing arm , lemniscate as a path of the coupling center (see also Watt linkage )
Five-link axle (spatial transmission), wheel carrier as a guided coupling
Multi-joint hinges (e.g. for furniture, refrigerators, skylights, etc.) are guide gears and are used in many variations.
