In this paper, for a novel spur cycloidal gear drive with a modified tooth profile, the equations of the sliding ratio are deduced from those of its tooth profile. Using the sliding ratio equations, the sliding ratio of the novel cycloidal gear drive is investigated and effects of the drive parameters on the sliding ratio are analysed. The sliding ratio of the novel cycloidal gear drive is then compared with that of an involute gear drive. The results show that the sliding ratio of the novel cycloidal gear drive is small and distributed evenly along its rotating angles, which makes the drive operate smoothly and have a long wear life.
