Application of Cycloidal Gearbox in Industrial Workshop
摘要
Gears and gearboxes are employed in various mechanical devices; one of such is the Cycloidal Gear. This drive is exceptionally efficient for equipment that requires high-speed reduction or higher torque transmission. It is mostly applied in fields that demand precise output and large payload drives. As per the application, the cycloidal gearbox can be designed in SOLIDWORKS© with the help of formulas. The proposed gearbox has a total torque transmission ratio of 100:1 in single stage and a factor of safety of 5. Simulation of the cycloidal gearbox according to the specifications has been performed in the ANSYS© software. A comparison between the simulation of spur gearbox and cycloidal gearbox has been done. The hardness test and load test of the gearbox have been executed in a safe manner and noted down. The lifting capacity of the gearbox is the same as the spur gearbox, but it occupies less space and also has a lower input torque requirement. The fabricated gearbox can be employed in areas where high output torque, high precision, major speed reduction, or lifting of heavy objects are needed. This depicts that the cycloidal gearbox is safer, more reliable, and better than the currently used spur or helical gearbox in the industrial workshop.
