Countermeasures against the Noise of Ring-Plate-Type Cycloid Reducer

Double crank ring-plate-type cycloid reducer reserves the merits of the traditional cycloid drive, such as more meshing teeth, small angle between radial force and tangential force, hard surface of cycloid gear and pin-tooth. However, the noise of the reducer becomes more and more serious with the increase of speed and load. The noise of the reducer under different work conditions is measured with the SQLabⅡ data acquisition recorder and the collected data are analyzed through Artemis software. Some measures including involute helical cylindrical gear, adding rubber bearing and thickening the cover plate are presented to reduce the noise.
