Clean design. Clear and instructive explanation. Evaluated the results of the work. Original Content. Material list included. 3D Model included. Perfect video honestly.

What a SPLENDID video showing such a brilliant design. I am a bit amazed at the accuracy you got from the 3D printer.

This is an absolutely beautiful design! Keep up the outstanding work!

James Bruton used Cycloidal Drives in his most recent version of the robot dog. And I somehow doubt that it did not inspire you a little. It's worth checking out

This mechanism was my master's work during studying process, but yours is the best.

1. You can draw parametric curve from 0 to 180 degrees, then connect it's start and end, extrude half of the cycloid, and then just mirror it and get full shape. 2. It's better to use SolidWorks variables. This way you can change cycloid's shape much easier. 3. Efficiency was measured incorrectly. Does this motor really produce rated torque? Input torque should have been measured before measuring output torque. And it's also interesting how much torque will this reducer handle before something breaks. :)

Your channel is just amazing!! This deserved a scara pic and place with computer vision detecting objects!

Excellent as usual! I never expect anything less from your videos.

I've made two of Mechatronics projects, the Mars Rover and the Scara Robot Arm. These projects are great because they are well thought out and designed, with lots of photos and construction details. Looking forward now to make one of these drives to learn about it and maybe use it in a different Scara robot arm. Good stuff Dejan! Thanks for this.

This video can really add value to the other old industrial applications . Great work👍

I'm an electrical engineer brought here by a chance, however I do have certain appreciation of the mechanical engineering. I am able to judge that this video presents an extensive engineering effort, showing itself both overall and in the details. I wish I could work with you on my energy conversion related projects (quite a lot of mechanical engineering is required there), or that my mech. engineers could represent at least a half of your ability and attitude to the subject.

Great job! Thanks for sharing with us !

that was quite beautiful. elegant mechanics.

Awesome project! one of the best i've ever seen , Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it.

Gorgeous design. And brilliant explanation.

In the first seconds of the video I thought the scene was a 3d rendering, so clean it is !!! until I saw your hand grabbing the device. Nice video and valuable content !

Brilliant work and explanation!!!!

OMG Thank you so much for uploading this video Now I understand how to drive it

Wow! absolutely amazing project. Thanks for share your skills

Beautiful work :)

Amazing job, mate

Hey all, just FYI, the equation as copied and pasted into SW had some issues. I copy and pasted it directly into SW2022 and it came up with something that looked more like a flower than a gear. After watching a video on Stepbystep-robotics channel I was able to figure it out. He had done some intermediate calcs on a couple of the terms and then replaced those terms in the equation and removed the associated parentheses that are no longer needed. This solved the problem. Also, in SW you can use the equation editor to lay out your terms and then put the equation into the sketch using the terms with, with " around each term. This makes your disk editable without having to re-copy/paste the equation in.

neat ! great job explaining.

Impressive piece of ingenuity ! Well done !

Wow this is a superb video. Subscribed & liked. Thank you!

Absolutely My Respect 👍🏼‼️

Great explanation

It thought it was a digital model, then you touched it and started interacting with it my mind melted for a second

Ото мені чудо,хвильовий редуктор.

Wow. Incredible.

Beautifully done project! A transparent cover would be cool for showing what’s happening inside and dust protection.

Great explanation and great video.

About the shaft : when screwing pla parts together, I avoid using purely undersized holes : there will be a lot of friction wich will generate heat when screwing, risking to damage the part. a common option is to use threaded inserts, but they are expensive and not always usable (tiny space for a screw, for example) personally, for 3mm screws (just for reference, my engineering project uses non less than 41 m3 screws all holes made with the following method) : a 2.3-2.4mm hole in the 3d model, that hole is re-drilled with a 2.5mm bit (inner diameter of M3, M5 is 4.2, for reference) with a cordless drill at slow speed to avoid melting the PLA, the hole gets a perpendicular exit (through part hole / I had in the model an other hole perpendicular at the end of the screw's hole) to make an exit for the debris, lastly the hole is slowly hand-threaded with a M3 tap and tap holder with a 2 turns down, half turn up, movement, to limit friction and let debris go down to the exit. If the hole is deeper than 15mm, I firstly do a 10mm pass, remove the tap and clear debris with a straightened paperclip, to much debris will make a lot of friction, heating up the pla and ruining the thread, so go slowly. Uses and personal recommendations : Fixing a pcb : a m3, 6mm long thread is enough. Fixing plastic parts together : a 10-15mm long thread is enough

Good video! Bravo, brate! :)

It’s very cool!

nice work

Respect man. it's good job.

Beautiful!

I Love this video.

That is dang cool great video

Cool project!

Great job!

amazing! bro

Incredible

Превосходно проделанная работа 👍🏻

Beautiful my friend ❤️👍😍✨

Excellent video.

very cool!

these things love and i mean LOVE being submerged in lubricant oil !!! in huge tractors they are always full of lubricate oil and they basically never fail .... tractors put them on final drives becoz of there robustness ... only seals and oil leaks but the mechanism hardly fails

Awesome bro.

Wow the Design.❤️🇱🇰

fantastic

Great video on cycloidal drives ⚙

very good animation

This is nice

I actually used your version with the 3mm shafts as it didn't cause failure and was preferably lighter.

Very good

love it

Amazing work sir. Please also work on DIY QUADRAPED robot.

10:40 SPACERS!

Check out my favorite 3D printers, the K1 Max: amzn.to/3txQUC6 or if you are on a budget, the Ender-3 V3 SE: amzn.to/3FkCPus I hope you enjoyed this video and learned something new!

A sumitomo gearbox is the first thing I thought of when i seen this!! Try tearing one of those down to replace bearings!!

Congrats! Long way to come out with this, wasn't it? 3D printing and SW is like playing to be God!

I think the reason why cycodial drives are not used more widely in industry is the much higher friction in comparison to regular gearboxes.

Very interesting video on how to make our own cycloid motor at home, thanks for sharing with us ! On a 3D printer, the horizontal hole extension option is always problematic. I have tested it on many parts on my calibrated X1 sidewinder printer under ideamaker and this is not very accurate and repeatable, the outer parts are ok but the hole diameters are often oblong and always vary from clone to clone. First price 3D printer are good for POC but not suitable for a precision DIY part that must last. I hope that one day "How to mechatronics" will build a mini EDM machine with wire/electrode and/or a sls printer to allow home user to make complex and precise shapes in metal. I am pretty sur that most of us will be happy to sponsort him in order to product this kind of tools in opensource.

you are a beast

AvE has a great teardown of one of these amazing devices.

Great....!!...Saludosss

Amazing

Great!

Great video with intuitive and inspiring design. Would you like to specify which bearing to choose where the crank shaft contacts with the cycloidal disks? I do wonder rollers or balls might serve the role better)

Good explanation. Thank you! Who invented this cycloidal? crazy!!

Thanks for sharing. Thanks to the sponsor comlany made it easy for us to see your current project. I need to see again and put my questions later here. Can you name so e apication please. Thanks. PJ, Germany

Great video! I’m curious what efficiency did you calculate? In/Out Power efficiency?

After long time

Very good cycloidal drive to do cycloidal things.

Excellent work and video ! Congrats One question if I may : what are the advantages & drawbacks of a cycloidal drive vs a strain wave gear (harmonic drive) ?

So happy to find this channel. I don't need porn anymore.

Great ♥

Greatly explained! And shown details are also very comprehensive. Is the output speed very uniform or did you recognize any unsteadyness. So you recommend these published formulas?

Great

Thank you for your helpful video. I was wondering if you could help me out with 2 questions. How did you calculate the thickness of the disc and also how did you decide on the number of output holes on the disc ? Your video was a great inspiration, I hope to build my own version very soon. Thanks again!

I didn't know before that there was a gearbox like this after I opened a gearbox at my work, well little confused 😅

wow your video is very nice. i was experimenting with @James Bruton cyclodial drive model. would love to try with yours when i have enough filament. what is next harmonic drive?

Cool

Can you recommend one or a substitute that will last decades?

Gorgeous design, and thanks very much for sharing the design files! In your test, the output torque was limited by the little stepper motor: Do you have any idea what the maximum torque is that the drive is capable of before breaking? It looks like it should be very robust!

Great video, just loved the improvements on the design. Ball bearings are way easier to source than bushings. 5:10 "twenty-twenty"? Wouldn't it be "twenty-two" or "two-two" or something? Haha, anyway, that's a nice discount.

Stop the parametric curve at 99.99% an jankily finish it with a little arc => Solidworks in a nutshelll XD This thing drives me nuts : gets crazy good, easy to use functions and drawing abilities to 99,99% and you spend days fixing the 0.01% because it requires you to rethink your design around it. Amazing gearing tho, really like how simple and compact these ones looks. But can't help to wonder about their durability and efficiency... not mentionning how expensive they are.

Please make a video on robotic arm 3d printer

I tried to wrap my head around this thing a couple of times; somehow I always missed the eccentric bearing, thinking it and the discs were one solid unit. It all makes sense now, lol

Por favor hacer el vídeo en español gracias es muy importante para mí gracias por la atención prestada

hey guy, i see project is sand table, it’s beautiful and interesting, you can make do it??

Can you please upload a tutorial on how to make automatic water level controller using 555 timer ic with theory and explanation

14:01 nice project. You try any brushless motor? What about vibration on the Cycloidal Drive? its not incresead?

everytime i dont know some concept and try to find it and still dont get it clearly,you upload it

Hey, thank you very much for the coolest content. Creativity. Looking at your site, I noticed two projects where you use the same tool, laser engraving machine by "scara robot" and laser engraving machine by "simplest CNC machine", I guess the question, what is the use of laser in scara even though there is a simpler CNC machine that is easier to use and less expensive, but most of those interested in this field use the same idea of ​​the simplest CNC machine as it develops. scara . is not used

Beautiful. By the way, what if the outer part is driven by a second motor. How does output speed changes?

And the friction!
