Cycloidal drive

Zykloidgetriebe are eccentric. Cams transmit torques wallowing, so they come out without gears and are not subjected to shear forces.

Sudden failures are excluded.

For a low-wear operation, the uniform distribution of load within the transmission, the high shock absorption up to 500% and produced over rollers and ball bearing contact between the cycloid and the housing care. That extends the life over other types of gears such as worm gears, backlash is lower and the higher stiffness. Zykloidgetriebe be used as an alternative to worm gears for the servo motor drive many round tables.

An eccentric drives a cam shaft with cam portions of the number n, which rolls in a fixed pin ring with n 1 pins.

The cam is rolling it over the bolts from the bolt ring. The rotation of the drive wheel, the output is moved by a cam portion on. This results in lower speeds against the driving rotation.

Moreover, this transmission does not act self-locking. You are definable by overcoming a breakaway backwards eintreibend.
