Hi,

I wanted to open my own thread for this one. Like the title says I'm designing a cycloidal gear to use in 4th axis on my mill. I'm not after high gear ratios but what I want is low backlash as possible so kept the pin number as high as I could.

This is the first version of the design:

- Diameter of the wheel is 100mm
- Pins are 5mm hardened and ground steel
- Number of pins: 40
- Eccentricity of the wheel is 1mm
- Thickness of the wheel is 10mm (or maybe 15mm. I don't know yet)

Notes:
- I'll be using a Nema 34 stepper motor to drive this gearbox.
- I think I'll use 2 wheels.

I'm in the beginning of this so I'm sure I'm missing some important details. I welcome your thoughts and recommendations.
