Greetings,

The cycloidal gearbox uses the difference in number of lobes (tooth) between the housing and the cycloidal disk to provide high reduction ratios. The components of cycloidal gearbox include

• Eccentric bearing (for input)
• Housing with equally spaced rollers
• Cycloidal Disk (heart of the gearbox)
• Flange with output pins

I'm working on a toolbox which would decide the design parameters of these components based on the requirements set by the user.

Interested Kite users (especially students) comment below, I would be glad to add new users to the team;
