In this paper, we have reported results of experimental activity for a characterization of mechanical transmissions with gears or cams. The study has been focused on specific transmission characteristics that are related to a mechanical blood pumping design. In particular, experimental tests have been analyzed to understand benefits and drawbacks for using non-circular gears and polynomial cams in pure mechanical transmissions with limited motion regulation but with specific prescribed motion law.
