The measurement of input and output torque of a precision reducer, the core component of an industrial robot, plays a vital role in evaluating the robot's performance. The TMSIS and TMSOS of a vertical cylindrical high-precision reducer detector were designed and investigated in this study to realize the accurate measurement of input and output torque of the reducer. Because a transmission chain connects the torque transducer and the reducer, the characteristics of the inevitable additional torque are analyzed in detail. A torque calibration device is developed to realize the calibration of the torque measurement system. The readings of the torque calibration device are compared with the data of the instrument’s torque measurement system to realize the instrument's torque calibration. The improved particle swarm optimization and Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm-based radial basis function neural network is used to compensate for the error of the torque measurement system. The parameters of the RBF neural network are settled according to the characteristics of the additional torque and the torque calibration results. The experimental results show that the torque measurement accuracy of the torque measurement system can reach 0.1% FS after torque calibration and error compensation.

“…Their results revealed that the modified model, based on contact force curves, could improve the transmission performance of the RV reducer as the load increased. Deng et al [ 7 ] calculated the rated life of the RV reducer’s angular contact ball bearing. They also discovered that bearing life had a significant impact on the total life of the RV reducer under heavy load conditions.…”

The crankshaft is one of the core components of a Rotate Vector (RV) reducer. The fatigue life of the RV reducer is severely hindered by fatigue failure on the eccentric cylindrical surface of the crankshaft. The hardness gradients and residual stress in the crankshaft, associated with machining operations, exert an enormous impact on the rolling contact fatigue (RCF). In this work, a finite element method (FEM)-based three-dimensional elasto-plastic contact model is established to calculate the stress–strain field by taking hardness gradients and initial residual stress into account. The RCF characteristics of an RV reducer crankshaft is investigated by applying modified Fatemi–Socie (FS) multiaxial fatigue criterion. The results indicate that initial residual stress plays an influential role in the fatigue damage by altering the distribution of the maximum normal stress near the contact surface. The modified FS fatigue criterion could better consider the effect of initial residual stress and the shear stress, which significantly improves the prediction accuracy of the contact fatigue life model. The contact fatigue performance could be considerably improved by designing appropriate shot peening parameters to obtain optimized residual stress distribution. Therefore, the technique presented may serve as an important guideline for the anti-fatigue design of an RV reducer crankshaft.

“…At the same time, many experts and scholars have carried out a series of studies on the comprehensive performance of the RV reducer, mainly from the RV reducer transmission accuracy, torsional stiffness, and other aspects. [4][5][6][7] Wang et al 8 established an improved cycloidal gear meshing efficiency model by using the numerical analysis method of mixed elastohydrodynamic lubrication. Yang et al 9 proposed an analytical error modeling method for RV reducer's overconstrained structure, and clearly established the relationship between the original error and transmission accuracy.…”

Aiming at the problem of a spur gear fault of the rotation vector (RV) reducer in industrial robots, an instantaneous phase detection technology based on eccentric modulation and laser displacement sensor is proposed. Taking the RV-20E reducer as the object, through the analysis of the RV reducer gear fault mechanism, an RV reducer fault diagnosis test bed is developed to simulate the actual operating conditions of the RV reducer of industrial robot. The instantaneous phase information of the RV reducer is collected, and the adaptive permutation entropy is used to process the instantaneous phase data, which can judge the gear fault type quickly and effectively. The test results show that the fault diagnosis test bench based on this detection technology can effectively and quantitatively judge the fault type of the spur gear of the RV reducer. © The Authors.
