Cycloid speed reducer (cycloidal speed reducer) can refer to a cycloidal drive. It is a mechanism for reducing the speed of an input shaft by a certain ratio. Cycloid reducer is a planetary drive principle application using the new cycloid gear tooth meshing. This device can be divided into three parts: the input part, deceleration part and the output part.Cycloid speed reducer is a new kind of transmission mechanism. It has many characteristics.
Firstly, its transmission ratio is very large. A single-stage transmission ratio is about 9-87; two-stage transmission ratio is about 99-7569; transmission ratio can be even greater. Secondly, the transmission efficiency is very high. The single-stage transmission efficiency is more than 90%. Thirdly, its structure is compact with small size and light weight. The high speed shaft and low speed shaft are in the same axis so that it is quite easy to install and remove it. Fourthly, it can be operated smoothly. It has low noise. Besides, it can withstand the overload and the attack. Fifthly, it is quite reliable and its service life is long.
There are many specifications and models about the cycloid speed reducer. For example, there are B series, X series, and 8000 Series, etc. It is obvious that cycloid speed reducer has various categories. Therefore, it also has a wide range of applications to meet different requirements. It can be widely used as a driver or deceleration device in the petroleum, environmental protection, chemicals, cement, transportation, textile, pharmaceutical, food, printing, lifting, mining, metallurgy, construction, power generation and many other industries.
Due to its unique and stable structure, it can replace the common cylindrical gear reducer and worm gear reducer in some cases. This also leads to its wide application in various industries and areas. It is welcomed by the majority of users.The installation of the cycloid speed reducer is quite important. There are many points which should be taken into consideration. For example, when installing the coupling, pulley, sprocket or other parts on the output shaft of the cycloid speed reducer, direct hammering is not allowed. Besides, gear rings on the screws are only used for lifting or reducing speed.Every coin has two sides. The cycloid speed reducer is also the same. Except for its advantages, it also has many disadvantages. For instance, compared to many other drive mechanisms, its input and output shafts can not be reversed. All in all, the cycloid speed reducer is a quite complicated mechanism. Meanwhile, it is so important that it deserves our attention.
