Cool! It would be fun to see it built and what kinds of problems are encountered. The cam itself is kind of floating, there's not much to keep it co-axially aligned with the housing other than the cycloid wobble plates, but it looks like a good application.

It should potentially be stronger than a geared stage of a versaplanetary, given it's relying on a lot of pinned connections instead of a few meshing gear sets. If you stack to many stages of a versaplanetary the output stage can fail, since it sees a lot of torque. If you have a stronger stage, you can handle more load and get higher reductions before breaking things (not that you really need to... the versaplanetary system is already pretty solid).
