In this paper, we report on a new type of nutation motor that improved durability. This motor consisting of a diaphragms, a nutation bevel gear and a fixed bevel gear. Injecting air into each diaphragms sequentially causes nutation of the nutation bevel gear, which makes the output shaft to rotate through the pair of bevel gears and spherical bearing.
In this report, first, the driving principle and design of this motor are presented. Second, we describe the improved part of this motor. Next, the prototype of nutation motor is fabricated and tested. As a result, the feature of this motor are (1) simple structure, (2) realization of improved durability.
