Cycloidal gearboxes
Cycloidal gearboxes or reducers contain four simple components: a high-speed input shaft, a single or compound cycloidal cam, cam followers or rollers, and a slow-speed output shaft. The input shaft attaches to an eccentric drive member that induces eccentric rotation of the cycloidal cam. In substance reducers, the first tabs on the cycloidal cam lobes engages cam fans in the housing. Cylindrical cam followers become teeth on the inner gear, and the amount of cam fans exceeds the number of cam lobes. The next track of substance cam lobes engages with cam supporters on the output shaft and transforms the cam’s eccentric rotation into concentric rotation of the result shaft, thus raising torque and reducing 
velocity.
Compound cycloidal gearboxes provide ratios ranging from only 10:1 to 300:1 without stacking phases, as in regular planetary gearboxes. The gearbox’s compound reduction and can be calculated using:
where nhsg = the number of followers or rollers in the fixed housing and nops = the number for followers or rollers in the gradual swiftness output shaft (flange).
There are many commercial variations of cycloidal reducers. And unlike planetary gearboxes where variations derive from gear geometry, heat therapy, and finishing procedures, cycloidal variations share basic design principles but generate cycloidal motion in different ways.
Planetary gearboxes
Planetary gearboxes are made up of three fundamental force-transmitting elements: a sun gear, three or even more satellite or world gears, and an internal ring gear. In a typical gearbox, the sun gear attaches to the input shaft, which is connected to the servomotor. The sun gear transmits engine rotation to the satellites which, subsequently, rotate in the stationary ring gear. The ring equipment is area of the gearbox housing. Satellite gears rotate on rigid shafts linked to the earth carrier and cause the earth carrier to rotate and, thus, turn the output shaft. The gearbox provides result shaft higher torque and lower rpm.
Planetary gearboxes generally have solitary or two-equipment cycloidal gearbox stages for reduction ratios ranging from 3:1 to 100:1. A third stage can be added for actually higher ratios, but it is not common.
The ratio of a planetary gearbox is calculated using the next formula:
where nring = the number of teeth in the inner ring equipment and nsun = the number of the teeth in the pinion (input) gear.
Benefits of cycloidal gearboxes
• Zero or very-low backlash remains relatively constant during existence of the application
• Rolling rather than sliding contact
• Low wear
• Shock-load capacity
• Torsional stiffness
• Flat, pancake design
• Ratios exceeding 200:1 in a compact size
• Quiet operation
