Working Mechanism of XW Type Cycloid Reducer
The operation of the Cycloidal drive can be broken down into three main phases:
Eccentric Input Motion:An input shaft linked to a motor rotates at high speed and drives an eccentric cam that produces an oscillatory motion.
Cycloidal Disc Engagement:The cycloidal discs roll against the fixed pins, giving rise to a differential motion that diminishes the speed of rotation and increases the torque simultaneously.
Output Power Transmission:The swinging disc through rollers or pins transfers motion to the output shaft, thereby turning high-speed, low-torque input into low-speed, high-torque output—guaranteeing vibration-free and efficient power transfer.
