  • a multi Degree of Freedom ultrasonic motor using in plane deformation of planar piezoelectric elements
    Sensors and Actuators A-physical, 2008
    Co-Authors: Minghui Zhang
    Abstract:

    A novel multi-Degree-of-Freedom (MDof) ultrasonic motor was presented in this paper. The in-plane deformation of planar piezoelectric elements was used to generate the vibrations in the single stator. The working principle was elaborated; an initial prototype was fabricated and tested. The elliptical motion at the tip of the stator was demonstrated by measuring the vibration characteristics. And the load characteristic of the motor was also obtained. The results confirm that the motor successfully provides the desired MDof motion around orthogonal axes with a single stator using in-plane deformation of planar piezoelectric elements.

  • A geometric model of a spherical gear with a double Degree of Freedom
    Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 2002
    Co-Authors: Shyue-cheng Yang, Cha'o-kuang Chen
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper presents a double Degree of Freedom spherical gear mechanism with circular arc teeth. The developed spherical gear is very suitable for the flexible wrist of a robot. Based on the envelope theory of a two-parameter family of generating surfaces, mathematical and geometrical models of a spherical gear with circular arc teeth are proposed. In the process of machining a gear blank, the required tool path can be generated by using the obtained geometric models, the forms of which are determined easily by envelope theory. Finally, the geometric model of the spherical gear can be obtained simultaneously by Mastercam and SolidWorks software.
