Cycloidal-disk-tester

You can test the feasibility of various cycloidal disks shapes

Description

I 3D-printed model showcasing an 11:1 cycloidal drive, featuring 11 lobes on the disk and 12 pins of the housing. The disk was generated with the following parameters:

• R = 45 mm (radius of roller pin ring)
• Rr = 5 mm (radius of roller pins)
• N = 12 (number of roller pins)
• E = 3mm (eccentricity of the disk )

The animations and the video show how the disk's lobes engage with the pins. To simplify testing and adjusting the disk parameters, I used a MATLAB file (included), as it’s more straightforward than testing parameters in CAD. So you can use the disk tester to try out various designs and check out if they work for you.
