Abstract

This paper presents a novel planetary gear-roller screw hybrid transmission mechanism that achieves ultra-small output lead transmission under conventional screw pitch design by integrating planetary gear transmission with roller screw transmission. The core innovation of this mechanism lies in the coupling design of the planetary gear system and the roller screw transmission, which ensures that the ratio of the roller’s rotation speed to its revolution speed, as well as the ratio of the roller’s revolution speed to the nut’s rotation speed, remain constant. Through this design, the mechanism can output a constant lead that is significantly smaller than the screw thread lead, and the output lead is unaffected by external factors such as nut load and screw speed, as well as internal factors such as preload and lubrication friction. The mechanism maintains a pure rolling state at all times, significantly improving transmission efficiency and precision. This paper provides a detailed description of the mechanism’s structural design, working principle, kinematic analysis, and the influence of structural parameters on the output lead of the mechanism. The mechanism is suitable for high-power-density, high-precision, compact, and high-load electromechanical actuators, such as robotic joint drives and aerospace equipment, and has broad application potential.
