Product catalog summary
Introduction
Sumitomo's E CYCLO High Precision Gearboxes, particularly the ECY series, are engineered for non-backlash applications. They integrate strain wave gear technology with CYCLO Drives' engagement theory, resulting in a compact and high-rigidity structure ideal for industrial robots and transfer devices.

Construction
The gearbox construction features components such as oil seals, main bearings, thrust plates, and eccentric high-speed shafts, ensuring durability and efficiency across various applications.

Features
The ECY series boasts high torque and rigidity, with a large diameter hollow shaft for optimal space utilization. It offers approximately 1.5 times the allowable peak torque compared to standard strain wave gears, enhancing safety and reducing assembly work.

Nomenclature
The nomenclature includes frame sizes (103, 105, 107) and reduction ratios (50, 80, 100), with symbols indicating series and specifications.

Line Up
All frame sizes support the full range of reduction ratios, allowing for versatile application.

Speed Ratio and Rotation Direction
The speed ratio and rotation direction are determined by the configuration of input, output, and fixed components, with specific formulas provided for each setup.

Standard Specifications
Specifications cover grease lubrication, ambient conditions, and mounting requirements, with gearboxes designed for indoor use in dust-free environments.

Operating Principle
The ECY series operates using a cycloid spline deformed into an elliptical shape, engaging with fixed and output ring gear housings to achieve rotation.

Rating
Ratings include torque specifications, allowable speeds, and moment of inertia, ensuring the gearboxes handle specific torque and speed conditions without overheating.

Engineering Data
Data includes angular transmission error, no-load friction torque, stiffness, hysteresis, and efficiency, with detailed tables for different frame sizes and reduction ratios.

Main Bearings
Specifications for main bearings ensure compatibility and performance in various applications.

High Speed Shaft Radial Load and Axial Load
Details on load capacities for high-speed shafts ensure proper application and longevity.

Selection
Guidelines for selecting the appropriate gearbox based on application requirements are provided.

Notice for Designing
Includes assembly methods, bolt tightening torque, lubrication, and other design considerations to ensure optimal performance.

Outline Drawing
Provides a visual representation of the gearbox design for reference.

Other
Includes warranty and safety precautions to ensure proper use and maintenance.

Specifications
Detailed specifications for roller bearings include parameters such as basic dynamic and static rated loads, allowable moments, radial and axial loads, and moment stiffness, with tables for different frame sizes and input speeds.

Procedures
Formulas for calculating radial and axial loads, as well as the life of the main bearing, are provided. Steps for evaluating load characteristics, input speed, and radial and axial loads on high-speed shafts are outlined, along with procedures for calculating average output and input speeds, and average load torque.

Standards and Recommendations
Tables for load factors, static safety factors, and coupling and shock factors are included. Recommendations for assembly methods, bolt tightening torque, and lubrication are provided, advising specific types of bolts and lubricants, and guidelines for assembly and maintenance.

Design Considerations
Design considerations ensure radial and axial loads do not exceed allowable values, and that the assembly method uses specific spigots for different parts. Guidelines for bolt tightening and lubrication intervals are also provided.

Warranty Information
The warranty period is specified as 18 months from delivery or 12 months from operation, whichever comes first. Conditions for warranty coverage and exclusions emphasize proper installation and maintenance.

Key Data from Tables and Figures
Tables provide values for allowable radial and axial loads at various input speeds, load position factors, coupling factors, and shock factors. Figures illustrate load patterns and assembly methods, while tables specify bolt sizes, tightening torques, and allowable transmission torques.

7. Operating Principle As a principle rule, the ECY series consists of 4 parts. • The bearing for eccentric deforms the cycloid spline into an elliptical shape. • The major axis of the cycloid spline that was deformed into an elliptical shape engages the fixed ring gear housing and the output ring gear housing. • When the fixed ring gear housing is fixed and the bearing used for the eccentric body is turned 1 rotation in the clockwise direction, the cycloid spline will rotate in the counterclockwise direction by an amount corresponding exactly to the difference in the number of teeth, while the...
