Jam-free gear–clutch mechanism for load-sensitive step transmission in robotic joint
Abstract This paper introduces a novel gear–clutch mechanism that takes advantage of the difference between the directions in the reaction forces that occur during meshing and jamming to ensure jam-free engagement of the gears. The proposed mechanism is a more compact advancement of the previously d...
