ABSTRACT:
An orthogonal differential drive has a main shaft with a main axis. Also included is a primary gear, coaxially mounted on the main shaft, and a secondary gear. The differential drive also has a harmonic drive with a main throughput, a trim throughput, and a harmonic throughput. The harmonic throughput has a speed that is established as a linear combination of speeds of the main throughput and the trim throughput. The secondary gear is coaxially coupled to the main throughput of the harmonic drive. The secondary gear has an axis of rotation positioned transversely to that of the primary gear for engaging the primary gear. Also included is a transfer device spaced from the main axis of the main shaft for interactively engaging the trim throughput of the harmonic drive.
