Investigation of the Effects of Design Parameters on Tooth Profile Formation and Operating Performance in Cycloidal Reducers

Cycloidal reducers have a unique and complex tooth profile design compared to conventional gear systems. Unlike standardized gear profiles, cycloidal reducers provide significant flexibility in design parameters such as module, profile modification coefficient, and eccentricity. However, these parameters interact in a complex manner, affecting both tooth profile formation and the overall performance of the reducer. Inaccuracies in selecting parameters may lead to problems such as excessive contact stress, gear deformation or reduced load transfer efficiency. This study aims to investigate the effects of design parameters on the formation of cycloidal tooth profiles and the operating performance of reducers. By analyzing the relationships and interactions between these parameters, the research provides a deeper understanding that will improve design processes, enhance performance, and contribute to future standardization efforts. As a result, this study aims to contribute to the development of cycloidal reducers that are structurally robust, efficient and suitable for high-performance operation.
