| description | As the core component of modern mechanical transmission, the precision rotary motion mechanism and its drive system have wide applications in aerospace, robotics, and other fields. This article systematically reviews the design principles, performance characteristics, and research progress of various rotational motion mechanisms and their driving technologies. The working principles, advantages, disadvantages, and applicable scenarios of gears, drive belts, sprockets, camshafts, ratchet claw mechanisms, and linkage mechanisms were analyzed in terms of traditional mechanisms. In terms of new mechanisms, we focused on exploring the innovative design and application potential of intermittent indexing mechanisms, magnetic gears, 3D-printed spherical gears, and multi-link mechanisms. In addition, the paper compared the performance differences of electric, hydraulic, pneumatic, and piezoelectric drive methods. Research has shown that through material innovation, structural optimization, and intelligent control, there is still significant room for improvement in the load capacity, accuracy, and reliability of precision rotary motion mechanisms, providing theoretical support and practical reference for innovative design and engineering applications of future mechanical transmission technologies. |
