Abstract

The paper tries to introduce different designs of helical torsion springs to install them in epicyclic traction drives as basic elements. The goal of the authors is to show some clamping devices collecting ideas among the traction drives, at the areas of free-running clutches and conventional epicyclic traction drives. Helical torsion springs were developed, derived from a split hollow cylinder. A novel traction wheel design was obtained by merging the functions of rolling and clamping. In order to earn a good quality radial clamping force and load symmetry, and an economical design, some innovative technology were joined to the spring production.
