Gearboxes let engineers adjust servomotors’ operating speed and resulting torque. But understanding the two major types will lead to lower costs and better performance. Engineers have long used ...

Cone Drive says its new Spinea cycloidal gearing series provides both precision and high torque density for industrial ...

In the rapidly evolving world of robotics, the demand for high-performance and reliable motion components has never been more critical.

A cycloidal gear drive is one of the most mesmerizing reduction gears to watch when it is running, but it’s not all just eye-candy. Cycloidals give decent gearing, are relatively compact and ...

Cycloidal drives are fascinating pieces of hardware, and we’ve seen them showing up in part due to their suitability for 3D printing. The open source robot arm makers [Haddington Dynamics] are among ...

Cycloidal propulsion systems represent an innovative class of marine and aerospace thrusters that employ a series of continuously rotating blades to generate thrust in multiple directions. This design ...

Cycloidal propulsion as a means for driving a land vehicle is new. It offers omnidirectional drive with infinitely variable speed and tractive effort control. It also offers simplicity of design to ...

Trinity Industries Inc.'s subsidiary Halter Marine has been busy, delivering the Garth Foss—the second of two 155-foot (47.3-m), 8,000- hp enhanced tractor tugs equipped with cycloidal propulsion ...

UK researchers have developed a new CT scanning method that produces the same image quality while also reducing radiation dose, according to a study published in Physical Review Applied. The technique ...
