Unlike a regular involute tooth-gear, the "cycloidal disc," which is the gear for the Cyclo Drive 6000 reducer, features a distinctively smooth curve.
A unique circular-arc tooth profile is also used for the internal gear. The smooth rolling contact that prevents tooth breakage results in a durable gearbox with a long service life. (Some low reduction ratio models use planetary gears.)

Yes, if our standard Taper Grip Bushing requires more shaft than you have, we have a new Taper Grip Bushing option that needs an average of the shaft length. When we size up the reducer you need, we can tell you how much shaft length you need for both options.
The Cyclo speed reducer, by virtue of its smooth, almost frictionless operation (unlike traditional helical gears), has a thermal rating that far exceeds its mechanical capacity, and all but eliminates the conventional limitions due to heat.
The standard ratings for Cyclo are based on 10-hour daily service under conditions of uniform loads (equivalent to AGMA service factor 1.0). By following the product selection process outlined in our catalog, you will determine and apply the Service Factors to compensate for the severe operating conditions.
To select the proper reducer for your application, you need to know: Application: type of driven machine
Hours of operation per day
Motor horsepower (HP) and speed (RPM)
Mounting position
Ambient environment (altitude, dusty, chemical, explosive, water)
Ambient temperature and humidity
You must also note any special environment factors or operational requirements. This information will be important in determining your application's service factor.
This is because Cyclo has a high teeth engagement rate. Since the Cyclo gearing has two-thirds of its reduction components in contact at all time, it can withstand higher shock loads and is more stable than traditional involute gearing.
Generally, Cyclo Drives allow for input at 3600r/min for up to 3HP, 6:1 to 87:1 ratio. For more than 3HP, it varies depending on frame size and reduction ratio. Many Cyclo models can accept input speeds of up to 3,600 RPM. However, the maximum allowable input speed is dependent upon the model number and the reduction ratio.
Models having an "N" after the nomenclature symbol "C (Cyclo)," are universal mounting models that can be mounted in any direction . However, when there is an "H (horizontal)," "V (vertical with slow speed shaft downward)" or "W (vertical type with slow speed shaft upward)," after the "C," the unit cannot be mounted in any direction other than the one specified.
Cyclo is a type of internal planetary gear. The planetary gear has cycloidal-shaped teeth. All torque-transmitting parts roll, not grind. Unlike the normal involute teeth with limited contact points, a Cyclo has two-thirds of its reduction components in contact at all times. Multiple teeth share the load, so therefore the Cyclo is not susceptible to tooth breakage.
The Cyclo speed reducer, by virtue of its smooth, almost frictionless operation (unlike traditional helical gears), has a thermal rating that far exceeds its mechanical capacity, and all but eliminates the conventional limitations due to heat.
Cyclo (Vietnamese: Xch L [sɨt̚ lo]) is a 1995 film by Tran Anh Hung. It stars L Văn Lộc, Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Trần Nữ Yn Kh. The film is about the hard lives of the labor force in early 1990s Ho Chi Minh City, and how people come under the influence of crime.
The film is considered hard to understand because of abstract and wordless communication. However, in a review, Janet Maslin asserted that this style, which is typical of the film director, makes the movie more memorable and successful.[2] The film won the Golden Lion at the 52nd Venice International Film Festival.[3]
The movie is about an 18-year-old who has been orphaned after his cyclo driver father died in collision with a truck. The father's desire was that the son would have a better life than he had but, because of family hardship, the boy has to take over his father's job, pedaling a cyclo taxi around the busy streets of Ho Chi Minh City. He lives in a small house, with his old grandfather, who repairs tires despite his failing health, his little sister, who shines shoes for local restaurant customers, and his older sister, who carries water at a local market.
Their poor but peaceful lives are jeopardized when the cyclo is stolen by a gang. Having no money to pay his employer for the robbed cyclo, the boy is forced to join a criminal organization under the supervision of a brooding gang leader, who is also a poet.
His older sister also comes under the influence of the poet and becomes a prostitute. They develop feelings for each other and she visits his house where he is beaten by his father, furious about the profession he has taken. The poet brings the cyclo driver to "Mr. Lullaby," who slits a victim's throat while singing a lullaby.
Ho Chi Minh City is hit by a gang war. The cyclo driver, unseen, blinds one eye of the man who stole his cyclo. He visits his employer to pay part of his debt, but she refuses and becomes busy with her mentally disabled son who has covered himself with yellow paint.
The poet assigns the cyclo driver the job of murdering a man. His two accomplices give him a gun and teach him how to kill their intended target. They also hand him a bottle of pills to reduce his anxiety but warn him not to take too many. The poet and the cyclo driver's sister visit his childhood place. He leaves her in a nightclub with a client, who abuses her. The man offers compensation to the poet, but the poet kills him and later himself by setting fire to his room.
Meanwhile, the employer's son is fatally hit by a truck. The cyclo driver gets drunk and takes two of the pills. He becomes hallucinatory in the flat where he has been forced to stay. Failing to carry out the job of killing the man, he covers himself with blue paint and then due to the hallucinations he mistakenly shoots himself twice. The next morning, gang members find him badly injured. The lady spares his life despite his failure because he reminds her of her deceased son and releases him from the gang. The cyclo driver, still contemplating the memory of his father, drives his cyclo with his grandfather and sisters down a crowded road.
The film soundtrack was written by Vietnamese composer Tn-Tht Tit, who also collaborated with Trần Anh Hng on The Scent of Green Papaya. The score received a "Best Music" award at the Festival International de Flandre in 1995.The soundtrack also contains several well-known Vietnamese ca dao (folk songs) and other popular songs:
On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 75% based on 12 reviews, with an average rating of 6.8/10.[4] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 76 out of 100, based on 15 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[5]

The beneficial actions of nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) can be associated with inhibition of cyclo-oxygenase (COX)-2 whereas their harmful side effects are associated with inhibition of COX-1. Here we report data from two related assay systems, the human whole blood assay and a modified human whole blood assay (using human A549 cells as a source of COX-2). This assay we refer to as the William Harvey Modified Assay. Our aim was to make meaningful comparisons of both classical NSAIDs and newer COX-2-selective compounds. These comparisons of the actions of >40 NSAIDs and novel COX-2-selective agents, including celecoxib, rofecoxib and diisopropyl fluorophosphate, demonstrate a distribution of compound selectivities toward COX-1 that aligns with the risk of serious gastrointestinal complications. In conclusion, this full in vitro analysis of COX-1/2 selectivities in human tissues clearly supports the theory that inhibition of COX-1 underlies the gastrointestinal toxicity of NSAIDs in man.
