This paper presents the application of a magnetic gear to the electric propulsion system for an aircraft. Since high torque is required in aircraft electric propulsion systems, combining a speed reducer can amplify the torque. However, mechanical gears have issues, such as friction, vibration, and heat generation, which lead to maintenance challenges. In the case of a direct-drive motor that does not use mechanical gears, the size and weight of the motor increase to achieve high torque. This paper proposes the application of a magnetic gear to solve the maintenance issues of mechanical gears and the weight increase problem of direct-drive motors in aircraft electric propulsion systems. In this paper, a magnetic gear suitable for aircraft electric propulsion systems is designed, and it is compared with a direct-drive motor in terms of performance and the feasibility of applying the magnetic gear is verified.

The reducer of the mixer is one of the main parts of the processor used for water and wastewater treatment. In this study, an advanced reducer with a drywell structure was developed in order to prevent oil leakage during operation in the field. During the development of the advanced reducer prototype, a mockup, a metal mold, and a cast were made using CAD and a CNC machine. The structural safety of the reducer prototype's lower housing (drywell structure) was checked using the ALGOR commercial FEM analysis code, which yielded a von Mises stress of about 123 N/mm2, which is below the yield stress of 250 N/$mm^2$, and a natural frequency of about 650-700 Hz. In addition, the torque transmission efficiency for the advanced prototype was 95.87%, which is about 8% more than that found in a previous study, 88.45%, and the sound level was below 75 dB. Furthermore, no oil leakage or abnormal sound or vibration occurred. Therefore, an optimally designed advanced reducer prototype has been successfully developed.

Industrial manipulators are usually heavy given the payloads they carry. Therefore, they require high-capacity servomotors and speed reducers, which leads to high costs. However, if manipulator weight could be compensated for using a counterbalance mechanism, the motors' and speed reducers' capacities could be minimized substantially. However, it is usually difficult to assure durability and reliability with the conventional wire-based counterbalance mechanism. Therefore, a more robust gear- and roller-based counterbalance mechanism is proposed in this study. A manipulator was developed using this mechanism; this manipulator maintains its performance even when using motors and reducers of lower capacities. The results of various simulations and experiments verified that the proposed mechanism provides the torque required to compensate for gravitational torque in any configuration and minimizes the torque required for supporting a large payload.

The worm reducer is capable of quadrature power transmission when the shafts are disposed at right angles to each other. Since a large reduction ratio can be obtained of up to approximately 1/100 and a sliding movement is performed during operation compared with other gears, the noise and vibration are small, and there is the advantage that reverse rotation can be prevented. On the other hand, severe wear and damage are displayed on the gear and worm tooth surface, and many defects, such as intense heat generation of the reducer, occur. In the reducer case, the four-piece casing method was selected to solve the problems of heat generation, transmission efficiency, and assemblability. In this paper, we analyzed the problems of the worm and worm wheel (the core parts of a 5-Ton worm reducer) and casing through these methods and researched how to solve them.

In this study, we conducted research on a miniaturized transmission system suitable for ultra-compact electric vehicles, such as electric arts or small electric cars. While conventional electric vehicles eliminate multi-gear transmissions and control motor output or secure initial driving force through reducers, in vehicles like electric karts or compact electric cars, which have relatively small battery capacities, the driving range can be reduced or the motor can be stressed epending on the loading state. Therefore, in this study, we developed a low stage ratio 0.625 and high stage ratio 1.6 a two-stage transmission system that can change gears as needed, considering factors such as slope conditions and loading status, by applying the continuously variable transmission (CVT) mechanism. Based on the selected gear ratios, we designed the transmission and created a test rig to verify the power transmission efficiency of the developed transmission. Using the test rig, we varied the rotational speed and load of the transmission to confirm its power transmission characteristics and also examined the heat generation characteristics during shifting and operation. As a result, developed a two-stage transmission with a CVT structure.

This study is making a product for the development of one process worm wheel of making a shape for gear for worm wheel without hobbing manufacturing process. Because of removing a hobbing process, plastic worm wheel for increased productivity and equivalent quality is produced in the result. As the result, this product is selling to Hyundai Mobis, Mando, TRW, KOYO/NSK/Showa(Japan), Delphai(America). The core technology and different strategy are as follows. The technology protection for molding of worm whee is currently patent process "Molding process of helical gear(No. 10-2008-0105908). Further patent procedure for "molding system for positioning decision of inserting boss is currently prepared. As gear molding procedure in hobbing machine without gear machining procedure, most of all, core development technology which is making a gear tooth is main topic. So that, in case of currently developed worm wheel, because core and mold base are not developed in the first procedure, gear is machining in hobbing M/C as the second procedure. In the later, patent for mold base structure will be prepared in this study results.

동력을 발생하거나 이를 이용하는 대부분의 기계장치는 회전하는 축계 장치 를 갖고 있는데 이들은 중량을 갖는 회전체와 이것을 지지하거나 연결하는 강성축과 베어링으로 구성되므로 진동형태에 따른 고유진동수를 나타낸다. 그 결과 축계 장치 가 운전되는 동안 발생하는 기진력이 축계 강도를 초과하거나 진동수가 시스템의 공진점에 일치하던지 가까우면 이들 진동에 의해 축계 장치에 부착되어 있는 카프링, 감속기어, 지지베어링, 밀봉씰, 공정볼트 등이 이상마모 또는 피로파괴의 원인이 되므로 설계시나 운전중에 이에 대한 진동원인들을 PC를 이용하여 현장운전자들이 쉽게 규명할 수 있도록 개발하고 발생되는 진동문제를 효과적으로 해결할 수 있는 진동 저감장치를 몇 가지 소걔하였다. 국내에서 제작되는 선박, 자동차, 발전프랜트 또는 여기에 설치되는 엔진의 진동저감울 위해 이들 소프트웨어와 하드웨어들은 국내 관련기업의 현장기술 지도를 위해 여러차례 활용된 바 있으며 이를 이용하므로 써 축계진동 저감기술 자립은 물론 국산화 제품의 성능향상에도 크게 기여할 수 있다고 본다.

Since the engine and reduction gear in a naval vessel are usually supported by the mounting system separately, the misalignment between the input shaft of the reduction gear and the output shaft of the engine should occur caused by ship motion. In this study, this misalignment is estimated from the linear static analysis assuming that the phase of movements of the engine and reduction gear at low frequency range is same and the dynamic effect is not affect to them. Through comparing the relative displacement of the engine and reduction gear calculated from linear static analysis to that from dynamic analysis as well as experiment, the assumption in this study could be verified.

유도탄고속함은 우리 해군의 최신예 함정으로서 디젤엔진 2기와 개스터빈 엔진 2기로 구성되어 최대 속력 40노트를 낼 수 있도록 구성되어 있다. 이를 위해 각각의 엔진에는 발전기가 배치되도록 구성되어 있는데, 이러한 발전기는 엔진 및 감속기어가 설치되어 있는 엔진룸에 배치되어 있어 커다란 진동에 그대로 노출이 되어 있는 상황이다. 따라서 이러한 진동의 저감을 위해 이중탄성마운트 등으로 발전기에 전달되는 진동을 저감하고자 하였으나 발전기의 패널에 전달되는 진동의 저감이 불충분하여 패널의 접지 불량이 수차례 발생하였다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 불량을 없애고자 유한요소법을 이용하여 발전기 패널의 위치를 변경하고 구조를 변경하였으며, 이를 통해 그 효과를 검증하였다.
