This paper considers two linear drive systems using roller gear mechanism(RGM), one is the RRP(roller rack pinion) system that consists of a roller rack and a cam pinion, the other is the CRP(cam rack pinion) system that consists of a cam rack and a roller pinion. Through the comparison of contact forces and load-stress factors between two linear drive systems, it reveals that the RRP system is superior to the CRP system in the aspect of the bending strength, while the CRP system has higher contact fatigue resistance than that of the RRP system.

Gate-lifting devices in small- to mid-sized sluice gates mostly employ the mechanical roller rack pinion (RRP) system. This RRP system, which consists of a rack-bar and a pinion, transforms a rotation motion into a linear one. The rack-bar has a series of roller trains that mesh with the pinion. In this study, we adopt an exact involute-trochoid tooth profile of the pinion to obtain a higher contact fatigue strength using the profile modification coefficient. Further, we determine the contact forces and investigate Hertz contact stresses to predict the pitting life of the pinion according to varying the shape design parameters. The results indicate that the design fatigue life of an RRP system for sluice gate can be achieved only when the design value of the profile modification coefficient reaches or exceeds a certain level.

본 논문에서는 기존 랙-피니언 시스템의 랙 치형을 핀 또는 롤러로 대체한 롤러 랙 피니언 (RRP) 시스템의 표면피로 향상방안을 고찰하였다. 우선 전위계수(profile shift coefficient)를 고려하여 RRP 시스템의 캠 피니언(cam pinion)에 대한 엄밀 치형설계 방법 및 언더컷 방지 조건을 소개하였고, 이를 바탕으로 설계인자의 변화에 따른 하중 및 하중응력계수(load stress factor)의 변화를 검토하였다. 이를 통해 RRP 시스템의 표면 내구성을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안으로 전위계수의 증가가 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.
