一、結構原理
采用單級擺線針輪傳動結構：由偏心輸入軸、兩個相位差 180° 的 PEEK 擺線輪、鋼制針齒殼及輸出機構組成。當輸入軸旋轉時，通過偏心套驅動擺線輪做行星運動，擺線輪齒廓與針齒殼上的針齒嚙合，將運動和動力通過輸出軸傳遞。核心創(chuàng)新點在于擺線輪采用 40% 碳纖維增強 PEEK 注塑成型，針齒銷采用 PEEK - 金屬復合結構（外層為 PEEK 耐磨層，內層為鋼制芯軸），實現(xiàn)傳動部件的輕量化與自潤滑。

五、關鍵部件的材料應用
擺線輪：擺線輪是PEEK擺線針輪減速器的核心傳動部件。使用 PEEK 或碳纖維增強 PEEK 制作擺線輪，在維持傳動精度前提下，可大幅減輕重量。據(jù)公開內容顯示，科盟創(chuàng)新推出的 PEEK 輕量化擺線減速機的擺線輪通過材料創(chuàng)新，讓減速器在 1.62kg 的重量下抗沖擊能力提升 200%，適配人形機器人的高負載需求。同時，PEEK 的耐疲勞性有助于延長擺線輪在高頻、交變載荷工況下的使用壽命。
針齒：針齒與擺線輪齒面直接接觸，要求具備良好的耐磨性。采用 PEEK 基復合材料針齒或 PEEK 涂層的金屬針齒，能利用 PEEK 低摩擦系數(shù)特點，減少齒面摩擦與磨損，可能降低對潤滑的依賴或允許使用更簡易的潤滑方案。此外，其彈性特質能在一定程度上緩沖嚙合沖擊，減小運行噪音。

The PEEK cycloidal reducer is a cycloidal pinwheel reduction device with a PEEK composite material as its core transmission component. It combines the high load-bearing capacity of cycloidal transmission with the lightweight characteristics of PEEK material. The following details are provided in terms of structural principle, material advantages, performance parameters, and application scenarios:
1. Structural Principle
PEEK cycloidal reducer adopts a single-stage cycloidal pinwheel transmission structure: consisting of an eccentric input shaft, two PEEK cycloidal wheels with a phase difference of 180°, a steel pin gear housing, and an output mechanism. When the input shaft rotates, the eccentric sleeve drives the cycloidal wheel to perform planetary motion. The cycloidal wheel tooth profile meshes with the pin teeth on the pin gear housing, transmitting motion and power through the output shaft. The core innovation lies in the use of 40% carbon fiber reinforced PEEK injection molding for the cycloidal wheel and the PEEK-metal composite structure for the pin gear pin, achieving lightweight and self-lubrication of the transmission components.
2. Material Advantages
Lightweight Design: The density of the PEEK cycloidal reducer is only 1.45g/cm³, reducing the weight by 50%-60% compared to steel cycloidal wheels, and reducing the overall weight by more than 35%, especially suitable for robot joints with sensitive load requirements;
Toughness: The surface hardness of PEEK material reaches Rockwell hardness R120, combined with carbon fiber reinforcement, the tooth surface wear rate is only 1/5 of that of steel. It can still maintain long-term operation without lubrication under high-temperature conditions;
Temperature Adaptability: PEEK cycloidal reducer can work stably within a wide temperature range of -50℃ to 200℃, with a heat deformation temperature of up to 343℃, meeting the requirements of high-temperature industrial environments.
3. Core Performance Parameters
Reduction Ratio: 8:1 to 100:1 (single stage), supporting two-stage series connection to achieve higher reduction ratios
Rated Torque: 10 to 200N?m (corresponding models BX-25 to BX-100)
Transmission Accuracy: Return clearance ≤ 3 arc minutes, transmission efficiency > 95% (under rated conditions)
Life Index: Fatigue life under rated load > 8000 hours, impact load-bearing capacity is 3 times the rated torque
4. Typical Application Scenarios
Humanoid robot joints: Can be adapted to 50W to 5kW motors. With the internal and external shaft composite structure, it can reduce weight by 33%, torque density increases by 50%, suitable for complex motion scenarios such as fingers and knee joints that require both strength and flexibility.
Industrial robot auxiliary components: For light-load wrist joints of industrial robots or additional execution modules that need frequent start-stop and flexible turning, using PEEK cycloidal reducers can reduce the weight of non-core transmission parts and reduce maintenance downtime due to its fatigue resistance.

V. Application of Materials for Key Components
Spiral Bevel Gear: The spiral bevel gear is the core transmission component of the PEEK spiral bevel gear reducer. Using PEEK or carbon fiber reinforced PEEK to manufacture the spiral bevel gear can significantly reduce the weight while maintaining the transmission accuracy. According to public information, the PEEK lightweight spiral bevel reducer introduced by Komei Innovation has a spiral bevel gear that, through material innovation, increases the impact resistance of the reducer by 200% at a weight of 1.62 kg, meeting the high-load requirements of humanoid robots. At the same time, the fatigue resistance of PEEK helps extend the service life of the spiral bevel gear under high-frequency and alternating load conditions.
Pin Teeth: The pin teeth directly contact the tooth surface of the spiral bevel gear and require good wear resistance. Using PEEK-based composite material pin teeth or PEEK-coated metal pin teeth can take advantage of the low friction coefficient of PEEK to reduce the friction and wear on the tooth surface, possibly reducing the reliance on lubrication or allowing for simpler lubrication schemes. Additionally, its elastic property can buffer the impact of meshing, reducing operating noise.
Support and Sealing Components: The end cover, support ring, and other structural components of the reducer are made of PEEK material, which can reduce the weight of non-transmission core parts and achieve overall lightweighting. The PEEK-made seals can, with their advantages of high-temperature resistance and chemical corrosion resistance, prevent the leakage of lubricating oil inside the reducer and resist the erosion of harsh external environments, suitable for underwater, high-temperature, and other special scenarios for robot applications.
Advantages compared to traditional PEEK spiral bevel gear reducers
Outstanding lightweight performance: The density of PEEK is approximately 1.32 g/cm³, much lower than commonly used metal materials. Using PEEK to manufacture some parts can significantly reduce the weight of the reducer, lower the load on robot joints, improve motion flexibility and energy utilization efficiency, which is of great significance for humanoid robots that pursue high degrees of freedom and long battery life.
Optimized noise control: Due to the certain elasticity and self-lubrication property of PEEK, PEEK cycloidal reducer can effectively buffer the vibration generated by the meshing of the spiral bevel gear and pin wheel, thereby reducing noise and facilitating the use of robots in scenarios such as laboratories and medical environments that are sensitive to noise.
Enhanced environmental adaptability: PEEK has excellent chemical resistance and wide temperature range usage performance. In complex scenarios where traditional metal reducers are prone to failure due to high temperatures and chemical corrosion risks, reducers based on PEEK components can operate stably for a longer time.
Main application scenarios
Humanoid Robot Joints: The single-stage reduction ratio of the PEEK spiral bevel gear reducer can reach 87, and the double-stage can even exceed 3000. PEEK cycloidal reducer has high-load, high-precision characteristics. The lightweight PEEK version is suitable for joints such as the waist and hips, and lower limbs of humanoid robots that require both strength and weight sensitivity. According to research by Guoxin Securities, using the corresponding reducer for the lower limb joints can reduce the weight by 18% and improve control accuracy by about 3 times.
Special Robots: When used in special robots such as aerospace exploration and deep-sea research, the lightweight feature can reduce transportation and power costs, and the excellent environmental tolerance can ensure the reliable operation of the reducer in complex temperature and humidity conditions and the presence of chemical corrosive substances.
