Modular multispeed gearboxes

A method of synthesis of kinematic schemes of gearboxes on the basis of single-type modular mechanisms is presented. If the number of modular mechanisms forming the gearbox is increased, the number of gears increases sharply. Mathematical numerical systems, in which the number of digits is equal to the number of similar modules and the numerals in these digits coincide with the combination of connected control elements and determine the respective gear ratio, are brought into single-valued correspondence with modular kinematic diagrams.
