See the Cyclo in Action

The Cyclo speed reducing system is based on an ingeniously simple principle. The speed reducer has only three major moving parts: the high speed input shaft with an integral eccentric cam and roller bearing assembly; the cycloid disc; and the slow speed output shaft assembly. The smooth, progressive rolling action of the cycloidal disc eliminates friction and the pressure points of conventional gears. All of the Cyclo's torque transmitting components roll, and are symmetrically placed around the shaft for balanced, smooth, and quiet operation. Click here to see the Cyclo in action.
