This project details the design, development, and evaluation of a prototype cycloidal gearbox. Cycloidal gear systems are known for their high torque transmission, compact size, and low noise levels. The main goal of this study is to create a functional prototype to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of cycloidal gearboxes for various applications. The project starts with a comprehensive literature review to understand the principles, benefits, and challenges associated with cycloidal gearing. Utilizing this information, a thorough design process is conducted, including CAD modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) for optimization. Special focus is placed on the design of the cycloid disk and pins to ensure efficient power transmission and minimal wear. After the design phase, the prototype is manufactured using precision machining techniques. Rigorous testing is performed to evaluate its performance characteristics, including torque transmission efficiency, speed variability, and noise levels. Comparative analyses with conventional gear systems are conducted to highlight the unique advantages of the cycloidal design. The findings of this project contribute to the advancement of cycloidal gearbox technology, offering valuable insights into their practical implementation and performance capabilities. Additionally, the prototype serves as a foundation for further research and development in the field of mechanical power transmission systems
