The cycloidal drive is a high-efficiency, high-ratio, and low-backlash speed reduction device. It has been commonly used for transmitting motion and torque in machinery. This paper presents the computer-aided kinematic error analysis for a two-stage cycloidal gear drive such that the design parameters of the device can be evaluated according to the error analysis. In this work, the mathematic model for the gearing analysis will be established, especially for the tooth contact analysis with teeth modifications due to manufacturing error. A computer interface for the kinematic error analysis is also developed such that the result can be promptly obtained if various design parameters are assigned.
