Why Cycloidals?
Cycloidal drives offer higher torque density and lower backlash compared to equivalent planetary gearboxes, thanks to their multi‑lobed cam engaging many pins rather than just a few gears. They’re inherently more shock‑resistant—so impacts and sudden loads won’t damage teeth—and their simple, rolling contact design means fewer wear points and longer service life. You get a more compact, durable unit that holds position better, making cycloidals ideal for anywhere you need a precise pivot on a robot. More info on Cycloidals here.
