Compact geared servo drives are a common part of modern industrial automation; thus, their proper modelling is a necessary part for the application and control design. The presented paper focuses on the mathematical model of the cycloidal gearbox, which is used in the compact actuator with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. A measurement procedure to obtain the necessary gearbox parameters is presented along with its mathematical model. A new approach was used to model the stiction and nonlinear gearbox friction behaviour in all four quadrants. A simulation of the actuator with the modelled gearbox is described and its results are compared with the real system measurement. Obtained results show a high match between simulation and experimental results and confirm the correctness of the simulation model.
