Such a coupling has been designed as an alternative to traditional couplings to transmit the rotation from the orbiting gear to the output shaft. The driving shaft transmits a couple consisting of two equal and opposite forces to a central element which, in turn, transmits the same couple, also consisting of two equal and opposite forces to the driven shaft. This novel coupling was successfully used instead of a traditional coupling resulting in, not only a smother operation, but also a more efficient power transmission. %K Coupling %K Cycloidal Transmission %K Magnetic Gears %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=95683
