ABSTRACT:
The invention, an improved radial ball, traction transmission capable of bearing component speeds in excess of 20,000 RPM, connecting the output shaft of a motor or power source to the output shaft of the transmission for the purpose of transferring input torque by RPM reduction or augmentation through the incorporation of a commercially manufactured, standard ball bearing assembly in two basic configurations where: The inner race is driven by the input power source and the output shaft is being driven by the movement of the rotating balls with the outer race secured in a fixed but adjustable position. An adjustable bearing support ring is incorporated that allows the ball bearing and it's elements to be centered, balanced and adjusted to critical clearances, or, where the inner race is driven by the input power source and the output shaft is driven by the outer race with the ball separator cages secured in a fixed but adjustable position allowing the ball separator cages and rotating elements to be centered, balanced and adjusted to critical clearances necessary for high input speeds. Also incorporated, is a threaded, rear motor support housing that permits variable and precision pressure control upon the ball bearing assembly while the invention is operating at peak RPM, permitting a non-slip start yet still maintaining a more precise torque limiting capability.
