  • We make a powerful robotic actuator based on a cycloidal gear made of metal laser-cut parts. At the end of the video we test it for maximum speed and torque.
    The cycloidal wheel generator has beeen taken from:

    Great job! Do not forget to lubricate the mechanics.

    I am very pleased that my work, after so many years, still helps create great things. Great invention.
    Share it ;)

    Good to see someone else doing interesting designs with flat laser cut parts (the offset crank) where machining isn't feasible or possible.

    It would be nice to see a backlash test: by the way, very nice project

    LOL!! Nice work with laser cut. Simple but strong design. Please share more info

    Excellent! Metal laser cut parts are indeed the best choice! Maybe expand the drive for more torque?!

    Very nice! The cycloids look durable, but I think the mounting of the motor should be better. Only those 4 bolts on the housing keep everything in place. That would also help with positioning the motor for coaxiality. Great work, subscribed!

    To improve accuracy, how about getting the holes cut slightly smaller, then using a reamer to ream out the holes to final dimensions? Also, using shoulder bolts instead of using all thread bolts?

      Thanks, it has a quite small backlash, but still noticeable. I would say less than one deegree.

    That is an awesome build and I think I understand cycloidal gears better now.
    Wouldn't the motor get hot in the box?
    Will the gearset need lubrication and lube separation from the motor?

    • @HOXrobotics
      @HOXrobotics  9 місяців тому

      There should be no friction, the cycloidal gears only touch the roller bearings, the eccentric shaft bearings and the output shaft bearings. But you are right, it would be good to put some solid lubrication. If motor gets hot I could open some slits, or even put a small fan

  • @berberger4814
    @berberger4814 3 місяці тому

    9:42 20kg at this angle are not 20kg perpendicular to the output axis, so either you need to calculate the torque with a shorter distance between motor axis and mount point of the spring

    Fun project! but two things really grinds my gears.
    First of you used no lubrication at all, and secondly you use the heads of bolts as the transfer from the motor and the gearbox witch is a bold move to say the least.

    • @federico6b
      @federico6b 9 місяців тому +2

      Maybe it’s too tight and friction add up to the whole resistive torque due to gearbox and motor inertia, try to avoid friction

    • @moses5407
      @moses5407 9 місяців тому

      @@federico6b Thanks. I'll try this design and add some lubricant. Great work!

    • @HOXrobotics
      @HOXrobotics  9 місяців тому +1

      Maybe it is too tight, and probably the positions of the roller axes are not as accurate as they should be, due to manufacturing errors

      you dont even need PEEK, some of the nylons would be sufficient, and also printable on a bambu x1c. 3dxtech has a MoS2 infused nylon that i like a lot and intend to do this with, called WearX.
