A Cycloidal gear reducer is a precision mechanical device used to reduce rotational speed while increasing torque in various industrial applications. It operates on the principle of cycloidal motion, where an eccentric input causes a cycloidal disc to engage with stationary pins, resulting in smooth, high-torque output with minimal backlash. Known for their durability, high efficiency, and compact design, cycloidal gear reducers are ideal for heavy-duty machinery, robotics, conveyor systems, and automation equipment where reliability and performance are critical.
Our cycloidal gear reducers are designed to meet rigorous industrial standards, offering a range of sizes and configurations. Below is a detailed table of standard models and their parameters.
| Model | Reduction Ratio | Input Power (kW) | Output Torque (Nm) | Input Speed (RPM) | Weight (kg) | Efficiency (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CYCLO-50 | 10:1 to 100:1 | 0.1 - 0.5 | 50 - 200 | 1500 - 3000 | 2.5 | 92 |
| CYCLO-100 | 10:1 to 100:1 | 0.5 - 2.2 | 200 - 800 | 1500 - 3000 | 5.0 | 93 |
| CYCLO-200 | 10:1 to 100:1 | 2.2 - 7.5 | 800 - 2500 | 1500 - 3000 | 12.0 | 94 |
| CYCLO-500 | 10:1 to 100:1 | 7.5 - 22 | 2500 - 6000 | 1500 - 3000 | 25.0 | 95 |

Cycloidal gear reducers offer several benefits compared to planetary or helical gear systems:
What is the typical lifespan of a cycloidal gear reducer?
The lifespan depends on operating conditions, but with proper maintenance, these reducers can last over 20,000 hours. Factors like load, speed, and lubrication frequency affect durability. Regular inspections and using recommended lubricants can extend service life significantly.
How do I select the right cycloidal gear reducer for my application?
Consider key parameters such as required torque, input speed, reduction ratio, and environmental conditions (e.g., temperature, dust). Use the product table above as a guide, and consult with our engineering team for custom needs to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
Are cycloidal gear reducers suitable for high-speed applications?
Yes, they can handle input speeds up to 3000 RPM or higher in some models. However, it's essential to choose a model rated for your specific speed range to prevent overheating and ensure efficiency. Always check the manufacturer's specifications for maximum speed limits.
What maintenance is required for a cycloidal gear reducer?
Maintenance typically involves regular lubrication every 1,000 to 2,000 hours of operation, depending on the model and usage. Inspect for wear, noise, or vibration periodically. Use high-quality lubricants as specified in the manual, and ensure seals are intact to prevent contamination.
Can cycloidal gear reducers be used in harsh environments?
Absolutely. They are built with robust materials like hardened steel and often feature sealed housings that protect against moisture, dust, and chemicals. For extreme conditions, options like special coatings or stainless steel components are available to enhance corrosion resistance.
What is the efficiency range of a cycloidal gear reducer?
Efficiency typically ranges from 90% to 95%, depending on the reduction ratio and load conditions. Higher ratio models may have slightly lower efficiency due to increased mechanical losses, but they still outperform many other gear types in terms of power transmission.
How does backlash affect performance in cycloidal gear reducers?
Cycloidal designs inherently have low backlash, often less than 1 arc-minute, which is crucial for precision applications like robotics. This minimizes position errors and ensures smooth, accurate motion control. Regular maintenance helps maintain low backlash over time.
Are there customization options for specific applications?
Yes, we offer customizations including special ratios, mounting configurations, input/output shaft types, and materials for unique environments. Provide your requirements, and our team can design a solution tailored to your needs, ensuring optimal integration with your machinery.
