The cycloid reducer has very high efficiency, high ratios, high stiffness and small size, in comparison with a conventional gear mechanism, which makes it an attractive candidate for limited space and precision application such as industrial robot. There are several publications on analysis and design of the cycloid reducer, however, it was assumed that the contact stiffness of pin rollers and cycloid disk is constant regardless of their contact geometry. Moreover, the torsional stiffness of the cycloid reducer couldn't be calculated due to the assumption. In this paper, we present a new procedure of calculating torsional stiffness of the cycloid reducer using Hertz contact theory. First, conventional force analysis of the cycloid reducer is briefly reviewed. Then, iterative numerical calculation procedure of the contact stiffness is proposed based on the Hertz contact theory where the contact stiffness depends on the contact force. In addition, total torsional stiffness of the cycloid reducer is estimated considering its rolling element bearing stiffness. The torsional stiffness of the cycloid reducer is dominated by the rolling element bearing stiffness since the contact stiffness of the cycloid disk is too large.

There are many types of speed reducer for industrial uses. However the cycloid speed reducer is widely used in manipulators based on excellent performance of low backlash, high reduction ratio and compact size. It is essential to use precision speed reducer for accuracy of position controls on robot systems and electric vehicles. The cycloid speed reducer has a eccentric rotating motion and offset to avoid some problem of assembly, so it has a disadvantage for vibration. In this paper, a multi-body dynamic model is developed for a cycloid speed reducer and the dynamic behaviors of the reducer are investigated. The cycloid speed reducer consists of cycloidal plate gears, housing gear, input shaft, output pin and shaft, and eccentric bearings. Using a CAD program, each component of cycloid reducer is modeled based on the offset and eccentric. Multi-body simulations using Recurdyn and test using a rig tester are performed. As a result, the pin reaction force and the amplitude of housing displacement are increased by the larger offset and smaller eccentric value of cycloid reducer.

In this paper, a study on the performance evaluation of a cycloid reducer for remote weapons systems is presented. Reduction gears applied to remote weapons vehicles need to be compact and capable of large torque transmissions as well as require structural optimization, high load capacity, and high precision position control. To meet these requirements, a cycloid reducer with low backlash, high precision, high overload capability, high rigidity, and high efficiency is required. Thus, a cycloid reducer with a reduction ratio of 127:1, backlash of 1 arcmin (1/60 deg) or less, and reduction gear efficiency of 70% or more, which are the design requirements for a remote weapons system, was designed utilizing a design and analysis program (HEXAGON) for gear engineering. To confirm the performance of the cycloid reducer, the hardness of the main components of the manufactured cycloid reducer, reduction ratio, and efficiency were measured.

The most of reducers consist of many gear parts, but a ball reducer never contains a gear. As the ball reducer with gearless has no back lash, it is necessary more and more to precision machine. The reducing of ball reducer happens by cycloid curves and all instant relative velocity centers always pass on a given constant position when rotational running. Then, it is difficult to calculate cycloid curve for design and machining. So, this paper studied a software for the design of the ball reducer design and machined all parts included among cycloid curve. By using the developed software, this study has large benefit to design every ball reducer.

A cycloid reducer is one of the rotational velocity reduction equipments of machinery. It has advantages of the higher reduction ratio, the higher accuracy, the easier adjustment of transmission ratio and the smaller workspace than other kinds of reducer. A cycloidal plate gear is a main part of the cycloid reducer. Its tooth shape is peculiar because of gearing with the roller gear that has the several rollers on the circular line. And then it can be designed to contact all teeth to rollers. So, the cycloid reducer has the good characteristics in the dynamic properties and the zero-backlash in the contact motion. It can be used in robots, high-precision machines and high capacity machinery. This paper proposes a new approach for the shape design of the cycloidal plate gear and presents a Computer-Aided-Design program developed by the proposed method. The first part of this paper defines the two types of the cycloid reducers and explains their mechanisms. The second part defines the instant velocity centers for each type of the cycloid reducers and calculates the contact angles and the contact points by using te geometric relationships and the kinematical properties of the reducers. The third part generates the full shape of the cycloidal plate gear by the coordinate transformation technique. Finally, this paper presents two examples for the shape design of the cycloidal plate gear in order to prove the theory of the proposed method in this paper and the accuracy of the \"CycloGear Designer\".

사이클로이드 감속기는 기계의 회전수를 조절하기위한 장치이다. 사이클로이드 감속기는 큰 토크로 변환시킬 수 있는 장점이 있지만 높은 회전수 에는 적합하지 않다. 한편 200톤 하중이 가해지는 수송기기에 있어서 감속기의 사용한계속도를 찾아내기는 불가능하다. 본 연구에서는 LS-DYNA를 이용하여 마찰손실동력을 수치 해석적으로 검토하였다. 최대토크3.5ton-m에 있어서 회전수 60rpm 그리고 162rpm으로 구동하여 해석을 수행한 결과 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 60rpm회전의 경우 최대응력은 RV gear의 경우 463MPa 핀기어의 경우 507MPa이 발생하였다. 마찰손실동력은 50kW이며, 162rpm의 경우 최대응력값은 RV gear와 핀기어 각각 550MPa, 538MPa이 발생하였다. 손실동력은 175kW이 발생하여 사용이 불가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

로봇 시스템에서 사용되는 정밀 감속기 중에 사이클로이드 감속기는 높은 성능을 갖추고 있다. 이러한 사이클로이드 감속기를 설계하는 경우에는 많은 요소들을 고려해야 한다. 우선 기본 개념을 바탕으로 치형의 기하학적 분석이 그려져야만 한다. 그리고 기어의 이에 걸리는 하중과 스트레스, 수정계수를 정확히 계산하여야 한다. 마지막으로는 사이클로이드 치의 설계에 활용하기 위한 컴퓨터 소프트웨어는 기하학과 힙의 방정식을 기초로 발전할 필요가 있다. 이 논문에서 사이클로이드 감속기 설계 전문가 시스템은 비주얼C++를 사용하여 개발되어 진다. 그러므로 가장 중요한 요소는 사용자가 간단한 입력값을 넣음으로써 자동으로 구할 수 있다는 것이다.
