This repository contains CAD designs for a 20:1 reduction Cycloidal Drive. It includes:
- Compact High-Performance Version (optimised for efficiency and durability)
- Standard Version (functional but larger in size)
A Python script will be added to assist in designing cycloidal drives. This tool will allow users to:
Visualise cycloidal gear profiles interactively
Adjust parameters dynamically
Export designs to DXF for further use
However, since I don’t have time to implement it right away, I recommend using GearSolver in the meantime. GearSolver provides an interactive cycloidal gear calculator with graphical visualization and DXF export capabilities.
That being said, I will develop my own version in the near future, making visualization even easier with added features for better usability and enhanced graphical output. This will be a port of an existing script with added features for better graphical display and ease of use. Stay tuned!
I will be actively contributing to this repository to develop an industry-standard cycloidal drive with:
- Very low backlash for high precision
- Optimised design for maximum efficiency
- Complete calculations and analysis
- Experimental data and validation
Stay tuned for detailed updates, including:
- New CAD models
- Performance simulations
- Real-world test results
Contributions and discussions are welcome! Feel free to collaborate and help improve the design.
