3D-printed high torque servo/gear reduction

Ғылым және технология

This servo/gear reduction uses mostly 3D-printed parts. The servo uses a 775 36V 9000rpm brushed DC-motor wich is driven by a BTS7960B motor driver which is controlled by an Arduino mega 2560. The stall torque of the servo is about 55kg/cm wich is about 5.39 Nm. the peak current is about 18 amps when using a 6s LIPO battery (about 22-24V). the reduction ratio is 1:30. I originally wanted to use some 20mm ball bearings for the outputshaft but they didn't arrive in time so I ended up using two 20mm holes and some lubrication so the shaft can rotate freely.. For the intend of filming the internals of the servo for possible faillures, I printed some collored gears and lasercut a 5 mm acrylic lid. Unfortunatly I didn't get to film any awsome footage of gears exploding because they were far to strong ;-). Even at a peak torque of 54kg/cm they didn't show the slightest form of flexing or cracks. The two middle gears (blue and red one) use a stainless steel shaft of 6mm diameter. The holes of the gears are designed at 6.2mm diameter so they would fit nicely around the 6mm shaft but some additional filing/sanding might be required. The same might has to be done for the 20mm shaft holes.

    Hello M A sky studio, yes when the servo isn't powered you can rotate it manually by hand but when it is powered it is very hard to turn. It has a lot of torque. I'm now using a 30:1 gear ratio and the output shaft has an RPM of about 330 at 12V and 715 at 24V which is a bit too high to get it properly tuned. I'm now working on a V2 version with a 165:1 ratio which would give it even more torque and the output shaft would have a speed that's easier to tune in of about 60-120 RPM.

  • @BrianBrocken

    5 жыл бұрын

    Your first question: 1kg = 9.81 Newton (on earth). I measured the servo could lift 9kg at 6cm which equals about 55kg/cm of torque. 55kg/cm = 0.55kg/m. 0.55kg/m x 9.81 = 5.39N/m (because 1kg = 9.81 Newton). Your second question: 2kg at 6cm is indeed 12kg/cm which is 12 kilograms per centimeter, this means you can lift 12kg at 1cm of length or lift 1kg at 12cm length. Just imagine lifting a bucket of water with a long and a short stick. Lifting the bucket with the long stick will be a lot harder then lifting that same bucket with a short stick. As the length of the lever(stick) increases, the amount of weight you can lift decreases when you use the same amount of torque and vice-versa (kg/cm, N/m).
