Description

This is an ideal mass- and inertialess gearbox which transforms a1D-rotational into a 1D-translational motion. If elasticity, dampingor backlash has to be considered, this ideal gearbox has to beconnected with corresponding elements.This component defines the kinematic constraint:

  (flangeR.phi - internalSupportR.phi) = ratio*(flangeT.s - internalSupportT.s);
