Abstract
The cycloidal speed reducer has been widely used in precision machinery. Compared with the traditional planetary gear speed reducer, the cycloidal speed reducer has larger torque density, less backlash, smaller noise, higher efficiency and stable dynamic contact force. This paper presents the force analysis of the cycloidal speed reducer. First, the model of the force analysis for the reducer in three different types were established and the calculation of force reaction between the cycloidal disc and the contact pins was introduced. Then, a procedure of the analysis using finite element method was developed and simulation of the force reaction was performed. In the end, comparisons of the theoretical results and the finite element simulation were presented. It is anticipated that this procedure may help improve the design of the cycloidal speed reducer.
