  2. Epicycloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicycloid

    The red curve is an epicycloid traced as the small circle (radius r = 1) rolls around the outside of the large circle (radius R = 3).. In geometry, an epicycloid (also called hypercycloid) [1] is a plane curve produced by tracing the path of a chosen point on the circumference of a circle—called an epicycle—which rolls without slipping around a fixed circle.

  3. Cycloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloid

    A cycloid generated by a rolling circle. In geometry, a cycloid is the curve traced by a point on a circle as it rolls along a straight line without slipping. A cycloid is a specific form of trochoid and is an example of a roulette, a curve generated by a curve rolling on another curve.

  4. Hypocycloid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocycloid

    The red path is a hypocycloid traced as the smaller black circle rolls around inside the larger black circle (parameters are R=4.0, r=1.0, and so k=4, giving an astroid).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_drawing...

    Definition of the part via a 3D CAD model rather than via a 2D engineering drawing. Drawings may be printed (plotted) from the model for reference use, but the model remains the governing legal instrument. MBP: measurement between pins: threads, splines, gears (internal, female) (synonymous with MBW) (see also MOP, MOW) MBW: measurement between ...

  7. Cycloid gear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloid_gear

    Construction of a two-lobed cycloidal rotor. The red curve is an epicycloid and the blue curve is a hypocycloid. A Roots blower is one extreme, a form of cycloid gear where the ratio of the pitch diameter to the generating circle diameter equals twice the number of lobes. In a two-lobed blower, the generating circle is one-fourth the diameter ...

  8. Roulette (curve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roulette_(curve)

    Cycloid - curve generated by a rotating point on a wheel Epitrochoid - Wheel rotating around a wheel . In the differential geometry of curves, a roulette is a kind of curve, generalizing cycloids, epicycloids, hypocycloids, trochoids, epitrochoids, hypotrochoids, and involutes.

  9. Trochoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trochoid

    A prolate trochoid with b/a = 5/4 A curtate trochoid with b/a = 4/5. As a circle of radius a rolls without slipping along a line L, the center C moves parallel to L, and every other point P in the rotating plane rigidly attached to the circle traces the curve called the trochoid.
