Abstract
We propose a unit type experimental space elevator climber in this paper. The unit type climber has the structure which connects the units of various mechanisms to the base frame. A cost reduction, simplification and time abridgment about the climber manufacturing which has new mechanisms are gotten using the unit type climber. In the present study, the manufacture of five units, for example tire drive, gyro-stabilizer, pressing force adjusting, disc brake, dynamic brake units. These effectiveness is shown by the experiment. This paper presents the tire driving unit which has pneumatic tire drive wheel especially.
