Characteristics of cycloidal pinwheel reducer

Feb 27, 2026

High reduction ratio and high efficiency for single-stage transmission can achieve a reduction ratio of 1:87, with an efficiency of over 90%. If multi-stage transmission is adopted, the reduction ratio will be even greater.
Compact structure and small size. Due to the adoption of the planetary transmission principle, the input shaft and output shaft are on the same axis, enabling the model to obtain the smallest possible size.
Smooth operation and low noise. The cycloidal pin teeth have a large number of meshing teeth, a large overlap coefficient, and a mechanism for component balance, which limits vibration and noise to the minimum.
Reliable use and long service life. The main parts are made of high-carbon chromium steel and undergo quenching treatment (HRC 58-62) to obtain high strength. Moreover, some transmission contacts adopt rolling friction, so it is durable with a long service life.
Reasonable design, easy maintenance, easy disassembly and installation, minimum number of parts, and simple lubrication. These features make the cycloidal pinwheel reducer deeply trusted by users.
