Stress Concentration FEM Simulation of Robot Speed Reducer(RSR) with Straight Line Teeth Profile

In industrial site, as the technology of FA developes, many robots can take the place of human labor. Generally, robots require high precision reducers which have cycloid or involute tooth profile. These reducers provide high reduction ratios with low backlash and high accuracy but need a high stiffness of tooth. In this study, to improve the high precision, the cycloid reducers which have straight line teeth profile are used. Also the FEM analysis, which consist of straight line teeth profile, was performed to simulate the stress of teeth profile.
