Description
This and the linked website(s) are under construction since 8.3.2020. I try to fill the content quickly in addition to my job. Therefore please have a little patience. @bavariaSHAPE
Cycloidal gears are very sensitive to an inaccurate adjustment of the centre distance, which then leads to a change in the transmission ratio. For these reasons, cycloidal gears are hardly found in mechanical engineering but are only used in special cases such as in the watch industry, for roots type blowers or for the drive of gear racks.
Notes
- Cycloidal gears must always be specially matched to each other and can generally not be exchanged at will!
