トロコイド歯車減速機の軽量化設計と試作

Internal planetary gear reducers with trochoidal tooth profiles have high rigidity due to the high intermeshing ratio between gears, and are advantageous in terms of strength because the portion corresponding to the tooth root is not thin. In this study, in order to investigate the applicability of trochoidal gear reducers to small and lightweight robot applications, a prototype of a thin-type trochoidal gear reducer with a few parts was fabricated.
