ACTUATOR HAVING AN OFFSET MOTOR USING A FLEXIBLE TRANSMISSION, AND ROBOTIC ARM USING SUCH AN ACTUATOR

摘要

The invention concerns a flexible transmission (1 and 1′) intended to be disposed between a motor member imposing a rotation movement and a receiving member receiving the rotation movement via the flexible transmission, the transmission comprising a flexible sheath (2) in which a flexible shaft (3) extends, bearings (4) with rolling elements being regularly interposed between the flexible sheath and the flexible shaft to guide the latter in rotation in the flexible sheath. The invention also concerns robotic arms provided with such a flexible transmission, and a cable actuator having a motor offset using such a flexible transmission.
