DEFINITIONS SUPERIOR TROCHOID:
If the point in the definition of
CYCLOID: cycloid is outside the circle
LOCUS OF A POINT ON THE
PERIPHERY OF A CIRCLE WHICH INFERIOR TROCHOID.:
ROLLS ON A STRAIGHT LINE PATH. If it is inside the circle
EPI-CYCLOID
If the circle is rolling on another
circle from outside
HYPO-CYCLOID.
If the circle is rolling from inside the
other circle,
PROBLEM: Draw locus (one cycle) of a point (P) on the periphery of a
CYCLOID
circle (diameter=50 mm) which rolls on straight line path.

EPI CYCLOID :
Solution Steps:
1. When smaller circle rolls on larger circle for one revolution it
covers Π D distance on arc and it will be decided by included arc
angle θ.
2. Calculate θ by formula θ = (r/R) x 360°.
3. Construct a sector with angle θ and radius R.
4. Divide this sector into 8 number of equal angular parts.
