Cycloidal drives are fascinating pieces of hardware, and we’ve seen them showing up in part due to their suitability for 3D printing. The open source robot arm makers [Haddington Dynamics] are among ...

On March 27, 2025, an experimental vehicle called BlackBird rose into the air during its maiden test, powered not by ...

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 ...

But cycloidal drives aren’t just about maximum torque increases in minimal packages. For something to be a torque god, it must be capable not just of increasing torque but also of surviving massive ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

Cycloidal propulsion systems represent an innovative class of marine and aerospace thrusters that employ a series of continuously rotating blades to generate thrust in multiple directions. This design ...

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 ...
