Therefore they are still insufficiently studied and thus their exploitation and technological capabilities are not realized completely (Abadjiev, 2007), (Abadjieva, 2011). This work contains special type mechanisms, belonging to transformers of rotation into translation motions (vice versa), by a system of high kinematic joints. These mechanical transmissions are known as a rack drives (Abadjieva, 2011). In many well-known literature sources (Litvin, 1994), rack matings are treated as instrumental matings, when cylindrical involute gears are cut. Planar mechanical motion transformers – rack cylindrical gear drives are subject of study. The article (Abadjieva, 2011) is dedicated to a special rack drive, consisting of a bevel gear and a rack with straight teeth. This mechanism realizes a variable law of motion transformation. In publication (Watanabe, 2006) analysis and practical experiment of rack set of type Wildhaber-Novikov (WN-helical gear rack drive) is accomplished. The monograph (Abadjieva, 2011) should be considered as a development and improvement of the studies performed in (Abadjiev, 2007), (Kovatchev, 1990), (Abadjieva, 2009). This study presents a mathematical model for synthesis upon mesh region of a face rack set, in which the active tooth surfaces of the rotating link - face pinion are parts of face linear helicoids and tooth surfaces of the link, performing rectilinear translation- face rack are theoretically conjugated with those of the face pinion. The rotation axis of the face pinion is orthogonal crossed with the direction of the rectilinear translation of the gear rack. 2- GENERATING OF ACTIVE TOOTH SURFACES OF THRE BASIC MOVABLE LINKS SYNTHESIS OF FACE RACK MECHANISMS 6- CONCLUSIONS The geometric character of the mesh region and the tooth surfaces of the movable links of spatial rack drives of type convolute, involute and Archimedean is established by kinematic and analytical studies.

1- INTRODUCTION

Spatial three links transmissions, transforming motions through a system of high kinematic joints, in accordance with preliminary given law (velocity ratio) and randomly oriented in the space vectors of motion of the movable links, are characterized by the biggest variety and complexity of their study. Therefore they are still insufficiently studied and thus their exploitation and technological capabilities are not realized completely (Abadjiev, 2007), (Abadjieva, 2011). This work contains special type mechanisms, belonging to transformers of rotation into translation motions (vice versa), by a system of high kinematic joints. These mechanical transmissions are known as a rack drives (Abadjieva, 2011).

In many well-known literature sources (Litvin, 1994), rack matings are treated as instrumental matings, when cylindrical involute gears are cut. Planar mechanical motion transformers – rack cylindrical gear drives are subject of study. The article (Abadjieva, 2011) is dedicated to a special rack drive, consisting of a bevel gear and a rack with straight teeth. This mechanism realizes a variable law of motion transformation. In publication (Watanabe, 2006) analysis and practical experiment of rack set of type Wildhaber-Novikov (WN-helical gear rack drive) is accomplished. The monograph (Abadjieva, 2011) should be considered as a development and improvement of the studies performed in (Abadjiev, 2007), (Kovatchev, 1990), (Abadjieva, 2009).

This study presents a mathematical model for synthesis upon mesh region of a face rack set, in which the active tooth surfaces of the rotating link - face pinion are parts of face linear helicoids and tooth surfaces of the link, performing rectilinear translation- face rack are theoretically conjugated with those of the face pinion. The rotation axis of the face pinion is orthogonal crossed with the direction of the rectilinear translation of the gear rack.

SYNTHESIS OF FACE RACK MECHANISMS 6- CONCLUSIONSThe geometric character of the mesh region and the tooth surfaces of the movable links of spatial rack drives of type convolute, involute and Archimedean is established by kinematic and analytical studies. Algorithms for theirs synthesis are elaborated. It is developed a computer program. Based on this program a synthesis and visualization of the basic geometric elements of the upper mention types of spatial rack set is accomplished.

The discussed in this study face rack drives are one special type. Besides them, the objects of the author’s study are conic rack drives and cylindrical rack sets (Abadjieva, 2014). The study of the three types rack drives is accomplished, when the rotating link-pinion is of convolute, Archimedean and involute type.

In general they are suitable for implementation as actuators in various fields of techniques. Of particular interest is their incorporation into the constructions of bio-robots (Wenzeng, 2009), as an alternative of spatial hyperboloid gears (Abadjieva, 2013).
