Simple cycloid drive is a type of high-sensitive gear train, by which it is possible to realize high transmission ratios in single-stage. Their advantage is also reflected in the compactness and simplicity of production, as well as achieving greater efficiency compared to conventional planetary drive train. In this paper, the basic equations for obtaining the transmission ratios, torque and efficiency of simple cycloid drive with stepped planets are shown. The dependence between basic transmission ratio and basic efficiency was also examined to find the optimum value of the transmission ratio and determine the point at which the self-locking occurs.
