Background:

Invented in the early 1920’s, cycloidal gear drives use a specially designed cam based on an epicycloidal curve and pins and rollers for power transmission in contrast to traditional gears based on the involute tooth form.

Operating Principle:

The Cycloidal drive consists of 4 main components- an input shaft, a cycloidal cam disc eccentrically mounted on the input shaft, a set of pins or rollers mounted around the cam, and an output shaft. Motion is transmitted between the input and output shaft purely by rolling friction between the cams, rollers and pins. This leads to a high efficiency drive unlike traditional planetary gears using involute teeth which involve sliding friction.

Introducing High-Precision Cycloidal Gear Drives – The Precision and POwer You Need, in a Compact Package!

At Dryve, we are pleased to offer you the latest in high-precision cycloidal gear drives. Designed and manufactured in USA latest technology with very tight machining tolerances. Due to the complexity of the mesh between a mathematically derived cam with pins, cycloidal gear drives need high precision CNC manufacturing and assembly techniques and have been expensive to design and build. Inaccuracies in manufacturing often leads to backlash and vibrations. Due to these reasons, until recently, cycloidal drives have found limited use in high precision mechanisms. Our team at Dryve has harnessed the latest CAD/CAM and analysis techniques, along with high-tech engineering materials, to bring you a new range of high-precision miniature cycloidal drives.

They offer a range of benefits that make them an ideal choice for applications that require precision and accuracy in a compact light weight package.

With a wide range of gear ratios in a compact footprint, and zero backlash, our drives offer a powerful solution for tight spaces. And, with our customizable designs and range of sizes, you can find the perfect fit for your application.

Applications of Cycloidal Gear Drives:

Cycloidal gear drives are versatile and suitable for a wide range of industries and applications. Whether you are looking to power your robotics, medical devices, aerospace or defense systems, or precision motion systems, our drives are the perfect choice. With the ability to handle high loads, provide precise control, and offer smooth and efficient operation, our drives are ideal for applications that require the highest level of accuracy and reliability.

Lightweight, Backdrivable and Low Input Torque:

Our drives are lightweight, making them easy to handle and install. They are backdrivable, which make them ideal for Cobots and advanced robots allowing quick teach and replay sequences, eliminating the need for complex programming. And, with low input torque, they are easy to control and operate.

High Impact Load Capacity and High Stiffness:

Our drives are designed to handle high impact loads and provide high stiffness, making them ideal for applications that require high performance and reliability.
