Systems

This document summarizes and compares four different drive train systems used in robotics: direct drive systems, belt drive systems, chain drive systems, and geared drive systems. Direct drive systems connect the motor directly to the motive device, while the others use various simple machines like wheels, pulleys, levers, and gears connected by belts, chains, or direct contact to transfer energy from the motor and provide mechanical advantage through their different configurations and ratios. The key differences between the systems are the simple machines they employ to power movement.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN

THE DRIVE TRAIN SYSTEMS


Rebecca and Jacob

WHAT THEY ARE

DIRECT DRIVE SYSTEM


Direct drive systems have one motor for each motive device on the robot.
There is no energy transference system, as the motor is directly connected.

BELT DRIVE SYSTEM


Belt drive uses wheels with a groove on the edge. Belts fit into the groove
and friction turns the belt when the pulley is rotated (some belts have teeth
that fit into lateral grooves in the wheel). Typically, two wheels are
connected by a belt in this fashion. One wheel is connected to the drive
motor and the second wheel is attached to the axle. The mechanical
advantage results from the ratio of the different diameters of the wheels.

CHAIN DRIVE SYSTEM


Chain drives are similar to belt drives. The difference lies in the use of a
sprocket (toothed wheel) instead of grooved wheel and the use of a chain
instead of a belt. As in the belt drive two wheels are connected by a chain,
and the mechanical advantage results from the ratio of the different
diameters or the ratio of the different numbers of teeth on the sprockets.

GEARED DRIVE SYSTEM


Geared drives are similar again, using teethed wheels, but direct
connection between the wheels occurs. The mechanical advantage is
calculated from the ratio of the different numbers of teeth on the gears

THE DIFFRENCES

THE DIFFRENCES BETWEEN THESE SYSTEMS ARE


THE SIMPLE MACHINES THEY USE, IE WHEELS,
PULLEYS, LEVERS, AND GEARS. THE SIMPLE
MACHINES POWER THE SYSTEMS AND MAKE THEM
DO THEIR VARIOUS JOB.
