Gearboxes let engineers adjust servomotors’ operating speed and resulting torque. But understanding the two major types will lead to lower costs and better performance. Engineers have long used ...

A cycloidal gear drive is one of the most mesmerizing reduction gears to watch when it is running, but it’s not all just eye-candy. Cycloidals give decent gearing, are relatively compact and ...

In the rapidly evolving world of robotics, the demand for high-performance and reliable motion components has never been more critical. With the advent of Cone Drive’s cutting-edge Cycloidal Gearing ...

Cycloidal drives have an entrancing motion, as well as a few other advantages – high torque and efficiency, low backlash, and compactness among them. However, much as [Sergei Mishin] likes them, it ...

What if the future of flight didn’t spin the way we’ve always imagined? Picture an aircraft that hovers effortlessly, maneuvers with surgical precision, and operates so quietly it could glide through ...

UK researchers have developed a new CT scanning method that produces the same image quality while also reducing radiation dose, according to a study published in Physical Review Applied. The technique ...

Trinity Industries Inc.'s subsidiary Halter Marine has been busy, delivering the Garth Foss—the second of two 155-foot (47.3-m), 8,000- hp enhanced tractor tugs equipped with cycloidal propulsion ...
