Analysis and synthesis of external cycloidal spur gearing

Abstract

This paper deals with a form of cycloidal gearing whose tooth profile consists of epicycloid and hypocycloid. Mathematical model, developed for determination of the gear tooth profile points coordinates, is used for the analysis of this gearing. The equations, given by the kinematic analysis, are used for construction of the diagrams of all kinematic parameters: contact ratio, relative velocities, sliding velocities and specific sliding.
