Bipolar Cycloid Reducer XWE – Working Mechanism
The XWE series reducer utilizes a dual-disc cycloidal motion principle:
Eccentric Drive Input: A high-speed input shaft energizes an ultra-precise eccentric bearing, generating controlled nonlinear motion.
Dual-Disc Force Distribution: Two opposing cycloidal discs engage simultaneously with stationary pins—achieving 17-point contact for uniform stress distribution.
Torque Multiplication: The resulting 87:1 to 721:1 reduction ratio produces smooth, vibration-free torque output.
Rigid Output Transmission: Hardened output pins transfer torque directly to the output shaft with rigid torsional efficiency—minimizing losses and backlash.
This dual-disc configuration significantly improves vibration damping, torque smoothness, and service life, outperforming traditional planetary gearboxes.
