New to me - obviously heavy on the marketing spin, but still - quite interesting.

Well - to start with, they will pull any stray magnetic debris into themselves, and stop being non-contact.
Cost, perhaps.
They can slip non-destructively, which is mostly an advantage.
It seems you can get a lot of speed reduction in a small package, but there are gearsets that will also do that.
Anyway- anyone seen these in a real application?

Not my area of expertise, so apologies if not correct, it just looked relevant.

This is outside of my expertise too - but the animations and sales pitch caught my eye - looks like a very cool technology.
