1. A tipper assembly for a refuse vehicle, the tipper assembly comprising:
a base configured to couple to a tailgate of the refuse vehicle;
an actuator assembly comprising an actuator and a cycloidal drive transmission device, the cycloidal drive transmission device including a housing, an input shaft, a first cycloidal disc, a second cycloidal disc, an annulus, and a plurality of intermediate eccentric shafts, the actuator coupled to the cycloidal drive transmission device and configured to provide an input to the input shaft of the cycloidal drive transmission device, the first cycloidal disc rotatably coupled to the second cycloidal disc via the plurality of intermediate eccentric shafts and configured to rotate within the housing about an axis, wherein rotation of the second cycloidal disc is configured to cause a rotation of the annulus, wherein the cycloidal drive transmission device is configured to reduce a speed of the input;
a brake configured to apply a brake force to limit the rotation of the annulus;
an arm extending from and pivotally coupled to the cycloidal drive transmission device; and
an implement coupled to the arm, wherein the implement is configured to engage with a refuse container and move via the annulus of the cycloidal drive transmission device, the implement configured to move from a base position to a dump position to facilitate the dumping of contents within the refuse container into an opening in the tailgate, wherein the cycloidal drive transmission device is configured to selectively facilitate a shake function by overcoming the brake force of the brake with the implement in the dump position.
