A cycloidal gear reducer, also known as a cycloidal drive or cycloidal speed reducer, is a mechanism for reducing the speed of an input shaft to a lower speed output shaft while increasing torque. It utilizes a unique principle based on cycloidal disc motion within a housing with cam pins, offering high efficiency, compact design, and exceptional durability. These reducers are widely used in industrial applications such as robotics, conveyors, and heavy machinery due to their ability to handle high shock loads and provide precise positioning.
Our cycloidal gear reducers come in multiple models with specific parameters to meet different operational requirements. Below is a comprehensive table outlining the key specifications for our standard product line.
| Model | Reduction Ratio | Rated Torque (Nm) | Max Torque (Nm) | Input Speed (RPM) | Efficiency (%) | Weight (kg) | Backlash (arcmin) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CYCLO-50 | 10:1 to 30:1 | 150 | 300 | up to 3000 | 92 | 5.2 | < 5 |
| CYCLO-100 | 20:1 to 50:1 | 500 | 1000 | up to 2500 | 91 | 12.8 | < 6 |
| CYCLO-200 | 30:1 to 80:1 | 1200 | 2400 | up to 2000 | 90 | 25.5 | < 7 |
| CYCLO-300 | 50:1 to 100:1 | 2500 | 5000 | up to 1500 | 89 | 42.0 | < 8 |
Note: All models are designed with IP65 protection rating for dust and water resistance, and they can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 80°C. Custom configurations are available upon request for specific applications.
Cycloidal gear reducers offer several benefits compared to traditional gear systems like planetary or helical gears:
What is the typical lifespan of a cycloidal gear reducer?
The lifespan depends on operating conditions, but with proper maintenance, our cycloidal gear reducers can last over 20,000 hours. Factors such as load, speed, and environment affect durability; regular lubrication and avoiding overloads can extend service life.
How do I select the right reduction ratio for my application?
Choose the reduction ratio based on your desired output speed and torque requirements. For instance, higher ratios provide more torque but lower speed. Consult our technical team with your input speed, load details, and application type for personalized recommendations.
Can cycloidal gear reducers be used in high-temperature environments?
Yes, our models are rated for temperatures from -20°C to 80°C. For higher temperatures, special lubricants and materials can be used; please inquire about custom options for extreme conditions.
What maintenance is required for a cycloidal gear reducer?
Maintenance is minimal:定期 check and replenish lubrication every 3,000 to 5,000 hours of operation, inspect for wear or damage, and ensure proper alignment. Our units are designed for easy access to lubrication points.
Are cycloidal gear reducers compatible with different motor types?
Absolutely, they can be paired with various motors including AC, DC, servo, and stepper motors. Adapters and couplings are available for seamless integration into your system.
What is the backlash specification, and why is it important?
Backlash is the slight movement between gears when direction changes; our reducers have low backlash (under 8 arcmin), which is crucial for precision applications like robotics to avoid positioning errors and ensure accuracy.
How does a cycloidal gear reducer handle shock loads?
The cycloidal design distributes load across multiple teeth simultaneously, absorbing shocks effectively. This makes it superior to other gears in applications with sudden starts, stops, or impacts.
Can I get a custom-sized cycloidal reducer for my specific machine?
Yes, we offer custom engineering services. Provide your requirements such as dimensions, torque, ratio, and environmental conditions, and our team will design a solution tailored to your needs.
