Re: Hypocycloid Gear

Post by ArtF »

Hi:

  You can design them, but its messy. There only available as they are a side cousin of the cage gear. Try a cage gear as a planetary gear, that basically is a hypocycloidic reduction. It is my plan to make a module to concatenate them to make a full reduction gearbox of them, but as
of now you can only design the one stage at a time. The math and shapes are fine and work, btu adding them otgether is above the means
of a lot of people so th eplan is to make a module that can do it. It may happen this fall. There are a lot fo desireabel routines so Ill be
asking the users of the group what priority to assign to the ideas presented for this years development period.

Thx
Art
