An epicyclic speed reducer which resolves the problem of gear teeth interference by employing a rotating orbiting gear (1) rotatably mounted on a first eccentric section (3) of an input shaft (5) and a nonrotating orbiting gear (2) rotatably mounted on a second eccentric section (4) of the input shaft disposed diametrically opposite to the first eccentric section wherein the two gears engage one another. The rotating motion of the input shaft is transmitted to the output shaft by a first radially shiftable coupling (12) nonrotatably coupling the rotating orbiting gear to the output shaft, while a second radially shiftable coupling (15) nonrotatably coupling the nonrotating orbiting gear to the stationary frame (9) of the gear reducer allows the nonrotating orbiting gear to orbit without rotating. |
