THE USE OF THE CYCLOIDALDRIVE BLOCK IN THE ANALYSIS OF THE CYCLOIDAL REDUCER EFFICIENCY

Abstract

Cycloidal reducers are well-known for their compact construction and high gear ratio which makes them essential in many industrial applications. The analysis of their efficiency involves precise simulations, which can be effectively done using modern software. In this paper, a cycloidal reducer model was developed using the MATLAB software in the Simulink environment. The use of the new CycloidalDrive block enables a detailed analysis and simulation of its performance. This paper will show how to obtain results using this model and to what extent these results are consistent with the expected values.
