Precise cable drive has been developed as an alternative transmission element to gearbox, belt and pulleys, chains and sprocket in Electro-Optical Tracking system. Precise cable drive has several significant advantages including backlash free, high stiffness, high efficiency, no lubrication etc.. This paper develops analytical methods to predict the Torsional Vibration of precise cable drive to enable designers to better assess dynamic performance in the design study phase. Theoretical formulation of transmission stiffness for precise cable drive is carried out, the dynamic equation of cable drive system is deduced and inherent frequency is obtained. Parametric studies are conducted to evaluate the relationship between the inherent frequency and cable drive parameters. |
