Stress Deformation of a Gear Module a Taping Device Drive

Abstract

Wiring harnesses used for information transmission and signal control in rotary-wing aircraft play critical roles in the aerospace and automotive industries as well as require precision and reliability. To insulate the wire bundle of each element of the wire harness, a portion of the wire bundle was peeled off locally, the core wires were connected, and this portion was insulated using insulating tape. Even when multiple wire bundles were connected, the wires were wrapped with tape to form a wiring harness. Currently, manually taping a wire bundle takes a substantial amount time, and the quality of the taping is not constant, depending on the skill level of the operator. Taping devices that utilize rotational forces have been employed to overcome these problems. In this study, we designed a part that transmits power through a gear module made of metal inside a taping device.
