Dynamics Influence of Joints with Clearance on Complex Mechanism

The effects of joints with clearance between Crankshaft and cycloidal wheel on needle pendulum gear drive in 2K-V reducer are considered by Virtual Prototyping. A comparative analysis reveals angular velocity, acceleration change and the loading conditions of the input and output components. Joggle force between Crankshaft and cycloidal wheel are also analysized. It is a convenient way for stiffness design of 2K-V reducer.
