“…This Fusee and Chain Mechanism, as shown in Fig. 27, is not really conical but has a bell-like shape and tries to compensate for the decrease in torque from the power spring as it unwinds by changing the radius of the axis it drives [80]. The way this mechanism compensates the decrease in torque can be compared to a continuously variable transmission (CVT) and enables that the entire working range becomes useful again.…”

In this paper an overview is given of all types of constant torque mechanisms (CTMs) based on both function and structure. Based on their architecture they can be divided into five distinct categories which all have their specific behaviour. It is also shown that these CTMs can be divided into two application types, namely power assistance or torque stabilization. Due to the fact that in research mainly constant force mechanisms (CFMs) have been tackled, also some explanation is given on how CFMs can be transformed into CTMs. It is also shown that some of these CTMs have a very high specific energy which can make that they have potential application as energy storage/power provider in novel fields like robotics where they have almost not been used yet.
