How a Cyclo Gear Reducer Works

The internal mechanism of a cycloidal speed reducer uses rolling contact between a cycloidal disc and a ring of hardened steel pins, producing high torque with minimal friction and exceptional overload tolerance.

Cyclo Gear Reducer Working principle internal structure
1

Eccentric Bearing Assembly

GCr15 Chromium Bearing Steel

The motor-driven input shaft carries an eccentric sleeve with two roller bearings. As the shaft rotates, the offset geometry forces the cycloidal discs into an orbital motion inside the housing. This eccentric mechanism converts high-speed motor rotation into the slow orbital movement that drives the output, forming the core of the speed reduction process.

2

Cycloidal Disc

GCr15 Steel, Vacuum-Quenched to HRC 58-62

Two cycloidal discs are mounted 180 degrees apart on the eccentric bearing to balance dynamic forces. Each disc has one fewer lobe than the number of pins in the surrounding ring. As the disc orbits, its lobed profile maintains rolling contact with each pin in sequence, advancing by exactly one pin position per input revolution. The surface hardness of HRC 58-62 provides wear resistance over the 15 to 20 year expected service life.

3

Pin Ring (Needle Teeth)

Alloy Steel, Case-Hardened, Ra 0.8 Surface Finish

A ring of cylindrical pins fixed to the housing inner wall serves the same function as gear teeth in a conventional reducer, but the contact is rolling rather than sliding. This is the primary reason cycloidal reducers achieve 85-92% efficiency while worm reducers at comparable ratios drop below 70%. Nearly half of the pins contact the disc simultaneously, enabling shock overloads up to 500% without permanent deformation.

4

Output Pin Assembly

High-Carbon Steel, Precision Ground

Output pins fitted into holes on the cycloidal disc convert the disc's wobbling orbital motion into smooth concentric shaft rotation. The output shaft is machined to h6 tolerance and features a keyed connection for coupling to driven equipment. Both single-shaft and double-shaft (through-drive) output configurations are available across most frame sizes.

5

Cast Iron Housing

HT200 Cast Iron, CNC-Machined, Bore Concentricity Within 0.02 mm

The housing is stress-relieved before machining to prevent warping over the service life. Dual-lip TC oil seals at both shaft exits retain lubricant and block dust ingress. A sight glass allows oil level monitoring, and a breather cap equalizes internal pressure during temperature fluctuations. Foot-mounted variants bolt through four machined pads, while flange-mounted variants attach through a precision-bored circular bolt pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cyclo Gear Reducers

Answers to the most common questions our engineering team receives from industrial buyers evaluating cycloidal speed reducers for their applications.

What is a cyclo gear reducer and how does it work?+

A cyclo gear reducer is a speed reduction device that uses an eccentric bearing to drive a cycloidal disc inside a ring of hardened steel pins. The rolling contact between the disc lobes and pins produces high torque output at reduced rotational speeds. Unlike conventional gear reducers that rely on sliding involute tooth contact, the cycloidal mechanism uses rolling contact across multiple simultaneous contact points, resulting in higher efficiency (85-92% for single stage), greater shock load tolerance (up to 500% momentary overload), and significantly longer service life (15-20 years under rated conditions).

What gear ratio range is available for your cycloidal reducers?+

Single-stage models (BWD, XWD, BLD, XLD, XW, BW series) cover ratios from 9:1 to 87:1. Double-stage models (BWED, XWED, BLED, XLED series) extend the range from 99:1 to 7,569:1 by compounding two cycloidal disc stages within a single housing. From a 1500 rpm motor input, this means output speeds ranging from approximately 167 rpm (at 9:1) down to 0.2 rpm (at 7,569:1).

Can your cyclo gear reducer replace Sumitomo SM-Cyclo models directly?+

Yes. Our cycloidal reducers are dimensionally compatible with Sumitomo CHHM, CHHJ, and SM-Cyclo equivalent frame sizes. This means the mounting bolt pattern, shaft diameter, keyway dimensions, and center height match the original equipment. In most cases, replacement is a direct bolt-in procedure requiring no base plate modifications, no coupling changes, and no realignment of the driven equipment.

What industries commonly use cyclo gear reducers?+

The primary industries include mining and aggregate processing, cement and building materials, wastewater treatment, food and beverage production, chemical and pharmaceutical processing, textile manufacturing, printing equipment, port logistics, and general material handling systems. In Korea specifically, cycloidal reducers are widely installed in the Ulsan petrochemical complex, Gyeonggi-do manufacturing clusters, and municipal water treatment facilities.

What is the difference between single-stage and double-stage cyclo gear reducers?+

A single-stage unit contains one set of cycloidal discs and pins, achieving ratios from 9:1 to 87:1 with 85-92% efficiency. A double-stage unit contains two sets within the same housing, compounding the ratios to reach 99:1 through 7,569:1 with 72-85% efficiency. Choose single stage when your required output speed is above approximately 17 rpm (from a 1500 rpm motor), and double stage when you need output speeds below 15 rpm.

Do you offer OEM and ODM customization services?+

Yes. Customization options include non-standard output shaft diameters, splined shafts, hollow bore outputs, extended shaft lengths, custom input flange patterns for non-IEC motors, special output flanges, custom RAL color painting, marine-grade anti-corrosion coating, food-safe epoxy coating, and private-label nameplates. Minimum order quantities are as low as one unit with 2 to 4 weeks lead time.

What certifications do your products carry?+

All products are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management and carry CE marking. Our quality process covers raw material inspection, in-process CNC machining tolerance verification, cycloidal disc profile measurement on coordinate measuring machines, assembled unit noise and vibration testing, and final paint and packaging inspection.

How long is the delivery time to Korea and neighboring countries?+

Standard models in popular frame sizes ship within 3 to 5 business days. Domestic Korean delivery takes 1-3 transit days. Japan receives ocean freight in 7-12 days. Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia take 10-18 days. Larger frames and non-standard ratios require 2-3 weeks. Custom modifications add 1-2 additional weeks.

How do I select the correct cyclo gear reducer frame size?+

Calculate output torque: T = (Motor Power kW x 9550 x Ratio x Efficiency) / Motor RPM. Use 0.87 efficiency for single-stage, 0.78 for double-stage. Select a frame whose rated torque exceeds your result by a service factor of 1.25 (uniform loads) to 1.75 (heavy impact). Our engineering team offers this calculation free at [email protected].

What warranty do you provide on your cycloidal speed reducers?+

All products carry a 12-month warranty from date of delivery covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal operating conditions within rated load and speed parameters. Technical support is available throughout the product life cycle via email from our Korean liaison office.
