U.S. TSUBAKI DISCO
Variable Speed Mechanism
The secret to the dependability of DISCO lies in its simple construction.
Speed Control Bolt

1. Power transfer Power is transferred through the route shown by the thick dotted line in the diagram. First, the rotation of the input shaft (12b) is transferred to the inner sun with hub (43), and then the inner sun (44). The inner sides of the circular parts of the planets (42) are pushed by both suns by the force of the dish spring (46), and the outer sides are pressed against the outer ring and outer ring with cam. When the suns rotate, the planets revolve in a fixed orbit as shown in the drawings (a) and (b). The sintered bearings (41), fitted into the grooves of the planet carrier (25), transmit the rotation to the output shaft (23).
