A conceptional idea of the pseudo mechanism is proposed. This concept means that a different mechanical feature from the natural one appears on the mechanism by means of control method. For example, a worm gear behaves like an one-way clutch. Generally, worm gears cannot be driven by load torque because of its mechanical stop feature. But the worm gear of this concept can be driven by load in specified direction, and the rotation to the other direction is prohibited. This asymmetrical motion is achieved by a switching operation of a force feedback control. The applied load torque is detected and fed back positively to a position servo control system in order to achieve power assist control. The worm gear seems to be driven by the load torque and it resembles to a spring motion. If the force feedback line is cut off, the drive system cannot be driven by a load. The switching operation of the force feedback line causes to a selection of back drivable feature or mechanical stop feature. The switching condition is set by a direction and threshold value according to the required mechanical feature. The pseudo mechanical worm gear also pretends as a torque limiter or a ratchet.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
