Abstract

A wobble mechanism is provided with a wobble member, which is arranged on an input shaft and has at least one row of force transmitting elements interacting with secondary force transmitting elements arranged on the input side and output side. At least one row of force transmitting elements is formed by magnets (7, 8, 37, 38, 48, 49, 50) arranged on the outside of the wobble member. In this way, low-noise operation is enabled.

Claims

1. A wobble drive whose wobble member is mounted on an input shaft and is provided with at least one array of force-transmitting elements that interact with secondary force-transmitting elements mounted on the input side and output side, wherein at least one of the arrays of force-transmitting elements is formed by magnets that are mounted on the an outer surface of the wobble member.

2. The wobble drive according to claim 1, wherein the input shaft or the output shaft are coaxial hollow shafts.

3. The wobble drive according to claim 1, wherein an angle between the wobble element and the shaft axis is changeable.

4. The wobble drive according to claim 1, wherein an array of force-transmitting elements on the input side is axially displaceable.

5. The wobble drive according to claim 1, wherein the input shaft extends at an angle of 90°

to the output.

6. The wobble drive according to claim 1, wherein the angle for producing the wobble movement is changeable.

7. The wobble drive according to claim 1, wherein the wobble element has two parts that can rotate relative to one another and have a common axis of rotation.

8. The wobble drive according to claim 1, further comprising

an elastic element that support the torque of the output shaft.
