My Educational Mechanical Examples SeriesThis model is one of my educational mechanical mechanism examples on 80mm x 80mm base plates.You can find all models of the series in this collection => [Mechanical Mechanism Examples]This modelThis is an educational model of the Cycloidal Drive.Brief DescriptionA Cycloidal Drive achieves a high reduction ratio in a compact, coaxial configuration similar to the planetary gear system but it can have even higher reduction ratio. In this model, the central knob serves as the input, and the inner pin disk is the output. This mechanism functions as a type of differential drive. The reduction ratio is determined by the number of lobes on the lotus root shaped disk, which is called cycloidal disk, divided by the difference between the number of outer pins and lobes, which is one. In other words, when the central knob completes one full turn, the cycloidal disk rotates by one lobe, and so does the output pin disk. In this model, there are ten lobes, res
