Cycloidal reductions drives are basically a type of gearbox... but without gears per-say. They have little backlash meaning they're used in robots and machine tools. They have a really high ratio density and a high tooth engagement, meaning they're good for heaps of torque. Here's the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cycloidal_drive

How to:

You can install the script by clicking the "Add-ins" button in Fusion: Go to media folder

You can change the design parameters be editing the top of the file: Go to media folder

Happy building! I'd love to see what you can do with them.
