3. Need Of Gearless Transmission
Today’s world requires speed on each and
every field.
Engineers are constantly confronted to the
challenges of efficient transmission of power.
Gears are costly to manufacture.
It is needed to further increase the efficiency of
transmission which cannot be done using
geared transmission
Gearless transmission mechanism is capable of
transmitting power at any angle without any
gears being manufactured.
4. What Is Gearless Transmission?
Also called elbow mechanism
It is an ingenious link mechanism of slider
and kinematic chain principle.
Transmits power at any angle without
utilising gears
5. Working Principle
Transmits the power between two shafts whose
axes are at 90 degree through bent links.
Three links slide relatively according to the
motion given to input shaft.
Due to this, the rotational motion of input shaft
is converted into sliding motion of links which
is then converted to rotational motion of the
output shaft.
9. Applications
Tower clocks
Gang drilling( multi spindle drilling)
Lubrication pump for CNC lathe
Angular drilling between 0- 90 degree
Movement of periscope in submarines
Used in vehicles (go-carts)
Hand driven machines like juice makers sheet
folding machines etc.
10. Geared v/s gearless transmission

13. Advantages-:
Complete freedom of Interchangeability.
More efficient than gear.
Power could be transferred to any desired angle.
Ease of manufacturing.
Misalignment of shafts can be tolerated to some
extent.
Simpler cooling system
Low cost of manufacturing.
Portability of parts.
14. Limitations-:
Does not work at very low starting torque.
Improper hole drilling could pose much problem.
Sudden load would cause mechanism breakdown.
Links are to be replaced after certain cycle time.
Speed ratio is always constant 1:1.
15. Future Aspects
i. Torque bearing capacity can be improved
ii. Flexible bent links can be used
iii. Has a bright future in automation & robotics.
iv. Can be used in automobile industry in near
future. .
16. Conclusion
