01What
- Designed a 15:1 cycloidal drive for precision robotics
- Engineered for minimal backlash
- Out-of-phase rotors cancel vibration and balance load
02How
- Generated complex rotor geometry in SolidWorks
- Ran static FEA to validate the cycloidal disk under high bearing load from motor input
03Results
- Validated localized von Mises stress with true-scale deformation plots to find fatigue points on the rotor
- Modular, manufacturing-ready assembly that works with 3D-printed or CNC-machined parts
