ROTARY VECTOR GEAR FOR USE IN ROTARY STEERABLE TOOLS

摘要

A rotary vector gear for controlling longitudinal axis offset about a central longitudinal axis is disclosed. The device uses single rotary motion through a rotary vector gear to produce hypotrochoidic offset similar to a flower petal and is capable or ready return to zero offset. The device may be used in downhole rotary steerable oil and gas drilling tools and in computer controlled milling machines for providing controlled offset.
