Abstract

In this paper, a study on the performance evaluation of a cycloid reducer for remote weapons systems is presented. Reduction gears applied to remote weapons vehicles need to be compact and capable of large torque transmissions as well as require structural optimization, high load capacity, and high precision position control. To meet these requirements, a cycloid reducer with low backlash, high precision, high overload capability, high rigidity, and high efficiency is required. Thus, a cycloid reducer with a reduction ratio of 127:1, backlash of 1 arcmin (1/60 deg) or less, and reduction gear efficiency of 70% or more, which are the design requirements for a remote weapons system, was designed utilizing a design and analysis program (HEXAGON) for gear engineering. To confirm the performance of the cycloid reducer, the hardness of the main components of the manufactured cycloid reducer, reduction ratio, and efficiency were measured.
