Abstract
A pericyclic gear reducer may include a middle planet ring gear coupled between a driver ring gear and a driven wheel utilizing a first prismatic joint on a first side of the middle planet ring gear and a second prismatic joint on a second side of the middle planet ring gear. The pericyclic gear reducer may further include an input shaft rotatably coupled to the driver ring gear and the driver ring gear configured to transfer the rotational movement of the input shaft to the middle planet ring gear. The pericyclic gear reducer may further include an output sun gear coupled to the middle planet ring gear. The output sun gear further rotatably coupled to a central output shaft.

A pericyclic gear reducer, comprising:
- an input shaft rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the input shaft;
- a middle planet ring gear;
- an output sun gear meshed with the middle planet ring gear, an axis of rotation of the output sun gear parallel with a central normal axis of the middle planet ring gear, the output sun gear rotatable with the middle planet ring gear;
- a driver ring gear coupled to the input shaft and rotatable with the input shaft about a first rotational axis coinciding with the longitudinal axis of the input shaft, the driver ring gear coupled to the middle planet ring gear from a first side of the middle planet ring gear utilizing a first prismatic joint, the first rotational axis parallel with the central normal axis of the middle planet ring gear, the first prismatic joint disposed on a plane perpendicular to the first rotational axis and the central normal axis, the driver ring gear configured to transfer the rotational movement of the input shaft to the middle planet ring gear;
- a driven wheel coupled to the middle planet ring gear from a second side of the middle planet ring gear utilizing a second prismatic joint, the second prismatic joint disposed on a plane perpendicular to the first rotational axis, the second prismatic joint perpendicular to the first prismatic joint, the driven wheel rotatable about a second rotational axis, the second rotational axis parallel with the first rotational axis;
- and
- a central output shaft coupled to the output sun gear, the central output shaft rotatable with the output sun gear about a central axis, the central axis along and parallel with a longitudinal axis of the central output shaft.
