Animation of a cycloidal drive. A cycloidal drive or cycloidal speed reducer is a mechanism for reducing the speed of an input shaft by a certain ratio. Cycloidal speed reducers are capable of relatively high ratios in compact sizes with very low backlash. [1] The input shaft drives an eccentric bearing that in turn drives the cycloidal disc in ...
In 2007, the EPA added three new Supplemental Federal Test Procedure (SFTP) tests [12] that combine the current city and highway cycles to reflect real world fuel economy more accurately,. Estimates are available for vehicles back to the 1985 model year.
A cycloid (as used for the flank shape of a cycloidal gear) is constructed by rolling a rolling circle on a base circle. If the diameter of this rolling circle is chosen to be infinitely large, a straight line is obtained. The resulting cycloid is then called an involute and the gear is called an involute gear. In this respect involute gears ...
A cyclorotor, cycloidal rotor, cycloidal propeller or cyclogiro, is a fluid propulsion device that converts shaft power into the acceleration of a fluid using a rotating axis perpendicular to the direction of fluid motion. It uses several blades with a spanwise axis parallel to the axis of rotation and perpendicular to the direction of fluid ...
It would seem that a Cycloidal Drive is a means of shaft speed reduction, while a Cycloidal prop or propellor is another name for a Voith-Schneider drive. The two items are not even close. Also there is now an aircraft version of the propulsion method, see here []. So I'm gonna write up the speed reduction, and point to Voith-Schneider for the ...
The basic concept of strain wave gearing (SWG) was introduced by C.W. Musser in a 1957 patent [5] [6] while he was an advisor at United Shoe Machinery Corp (USM). It was first used successfully in 1960 by USM Co. and later by Hasegawa Gear Works under license of USM.
In a typical application, the drive power connects to the sun gear. The sun gear then drives the planetary gears assembled with the external gear ring to operate. The whole set of planetary gear system revolves on its own axis and along the external gear ring where the output shaft connected to the planetary carrier achieves the goal of speed ...
