Liebherr R984 1:14

thanks for comment
i progress too slowly, now i´m making the hydraulic valve block i hope to share the test soon

Lil Giants: cycloidal reduction have many advantages, some are:

- if you turn the output axis, the input axis can´t be move (brake system)
- there are more surface in contac--> can manage bigger loads
- the output axis have a big diameter

in the video there are 2 stages of 1:10 (total 1:100) but this is a first test, now i have 2 stages of 1:15 (total 1:225) in the same place (and could increase the final relation) to obtain this is complex with spur gears (but i don't say you that it can't be done)

on the negative side this gearbox are difficult to machining, nevertheless i´ll i use it on the chain and in the turret turn

Very nice work so far Adolfo! Is your CNC mill with 4th axis home made? I bet a clever bloke like you could put a bar feed on it and go lights out? Or has it already got one? Your work on the cycloidal reduction is very interesting! Please keep posting and sharing your progress with us
