The invention discloses a rotation-axial conversion transmission speed change device and application thereof. The rotation-axial conversion transmission speed change device comprises a power source
assembly, a driven rotating piece and a plurality of transmission pieces. The driving part is provided with a driving surface, and the driving surface is provided with an axial height profile changing in the circumferential direction, forms rolling or
sliding contact with one end of the transmission part and drives the transmission part to move axially; the other end of the transmission part is in meshed contact with the end face teeth or the circumferential teeth of the driven rotating part in the axial movement process, or indirectly pushes the driven rotating part to rotate through a rolling body arranged between the transmission part and the driven rotating part. Through an intermittent transmission mechanism that rotation drives
axial displacement and
axial displacement pushes rotation output, speed change, quick response and a compact structure are achieved. The invention can be applied to the scenes of transmissions, clutches, overrunning
clutch devices,
servo braking devices,
robot joint modules and the like.
