We present a technique for using the matrix-code method in the topological and structural description of the cycloidal gear/lever manipulators of any complexity. The method is based on breaking the actuating mechanism down into two-member elementary mechanisms with their subsequent mathematical identification and constructing the composite velocity matrix, and makes it possible to analyze and synthesize the cycloidal manipulators - which by virtue of the absence of reversing of the drive motion have increased operating speed. Example calculations are considered.
