Cycloidal gearbox

Cycloidal gearbox cycloidal gearboxes
Cycloidal gearboxes or reducers contain four simple components: a high-speed input shaft, a single or substance cycloidal cam, cam followers or rollers, and a slow-speed output shaft. The input shaft attaches to an eccentric drive member that induces eccentric rotation of the cycloidal cam. In compound reducers, the first track of the cycloidal cam lobes engages cam fans in the housing. Cylindrical cam followers become teeth on the internal gear, and the number of cam followers exceeds the number of cam lobes. The second track of substance cam lobes engages with cam followers on the result shaft and transforms the cam's eccentric rotation into concentric rotation of the output shaft, thus increasing torque and reducing velocity.

Compound cycloidal gearboxes offer ratios ranging from only 10:1 to 300:1 without stacking stages, as in regular planetary gearboxes. The boîte de vitesses's compound reduction and may be calculated using:

where nhsg = the number of followers or rollers in the fixed housing and nops = the quantity for followers or rollers in the sluggish speed output shaft (flange).

There are many commercial variations of cycloidal reducers. And unlike planetary gearboxes where variations derive from gear geometry, heat therapy, and finishing procedures, cycloidal variations share simple design principles but generate cycloidal motion in different ways.
Planétaires réducteurs
Planetary gearboxes are made up of three simple force-transmitting elements: a sun gear, three or even more satellite or world gears, and an internal ring gear. In a typical gearbox, the sun equipment attaches to the insight shaft, which is linked to the servomotor. Sunlight gear transmits motor rotation to the satellites which, in turn, rotate inside the stationary ring equipment. The ring equipment is area of the gearbox casing. Satellite gears rotate on rigid shafts linked to the planet carrier and cause the planet carrier to rotate and, thus, turn the result shaft. The gearbox gives the output shaft higher torque and lower rpm.
