3D-printed high torque servo/gear reduction

[@BrianBrocken]

I've created a Universal Motion Controller - UMC to have position control on this servo. Video can be found here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5yTdmmhaKt7p8U

[@semperparatus3685]

I am in awe. Will be printing AND putting a potentiometer so it is a feed back servo. Well done!

[@BrianBrocken]

Thanks man 😉👍 it should work great as a servo with that potentiometer on it

[@natoisnazi]

Cool

[@pabloluna7834]

Great job. Excellent mechanism. Only, torque is Force * distance, and you are expressing it as Force/distance.

[@antonwinter630]

thats great. quite a bit of torque coming out of it

This is actually a reaaly good compact way to create moving wings for a cosplay, my paranoid side would probably modify the outer shell to be thicker if I am mounting it to something. But it looks perfect to go as is!!!

[@haenselundgretel654]

Wow! Great work and a huge inspiration for the future! A question: what about high ratio dual cycloidal drives?

[@BrianBrocken]

Hello Haensel, never thought about using these but now that you mention it, yes it would be possible. I would have to do some more research on this and would probably have to design a few prototypes first before i get a working model. Thanks for the idea, this would certainly be an interesting project.

[@MoizRehmanK]

Great 👌👌👌. I am giving you an idea to use this gearbox. Use weight to generate electricity . This should use any heavy object lifted to an elevation. The project should devise a mechanism to control its descent at uniform speed. 😊

[@magixo_]

The 3d printer catching fire in the end freaks me out!

[@BrianBrocken]

That’s a laser cutter, not a 3D printer and it happens quite a lot haha i need an air supply to blow away the smoke and flames. This would resolve this problem.

[@qozia1370]

Can you list the total price of this motor with the gearbox? Without the driver how much would it cost? Great design btw! I was very impressed.

[@bypala1]

Very good thanks for sharing! What is the minimum gearbox ratio to be able to pull 200 kg (supermarket trolley) with 15 cm diameter (7.5 cm radius) front wheels with two 200 watt 24 volt (4200 rpm) dc motors installed? I couldn't find the right formula can you help me pls? By the way I want very low speeds like 24 rmp. I need 147 Nm right? And with friction issues is it enough to install 32:1 x 6:1 gears?

[@shTree]

Why is the L298n linked in the description when you used a different driver in the project? Wouldn’t the L298n just go into thermal shutdown with these kinds of loads?

[@BrianBrocken]

I used them both during the filming of this video and never experienced any problems, it might be possible when you are drawing higher currents for longer periods of time.

[@maskystudio9193]

Amazing.... Can u manual rotate using hand and give some force.

[@BrianBrocken]

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.

First of all, this is really impressive I really liked your work. Do you think that with this system I can mount it in a small go kart for my son, do you think it would need any modification?

hello Felipe, i wouldn't recommend putting this on a go kart as it wouldn't go that very fast.

HI ! excelent work in both servo designs (this one and the newer one), what kind of lubricant are you using with pla printed parts? thanks in advance

[@BrianBrocken]

@caslor, thanks, i just used some regular bearing grease i found in my local hardware store. It might not be the best grease for PLA plastic, but so far haven't had any issues with it. www.werkenmetmerken.be/nl/griffon_kogellagervet/p/190/?gclid=CjwKCAjw8-78BRA0EiwAFUw8LM-iW7skSEt__Of6-qZLY_vmFlZ8HVXbPGPhIN9zCNw5XXHqBS38TxoCf20QAvD_BwE#283

[@matthewrossilini5808]

Awesome video. But you really should get yourself a set of wrenches (two videos I've seen you using needle nose pliers on the nut). As a machinist, makes my eye twitch.. lol awesome gearbox videos though! I'm shocked the little plastic gears hold up as well as they do.

[@BrianBrocken]

[@BrianBrocken]

You’re welcome haha. I’m glad you like it ;-)

[@jowe8039]

Wow! Which material did you use for printing? It must be very stable.

[@BrianBrocken]

I used PLA to print this which is a commonly used 3D print plastic. It's not the strongest 3D print plastic, Nylon would be better fit for this application, but the PLA parts are more then strong enough for this servo.

[@jowe8039]

@@BrianBrocken ok, thank you!

[@BrianBrocken]

No problem ;-)

[@ilgazk.9057]

I dont understand the "servo" part guys how is that encoding location back?

[@BrianBrocken]

I didn't use an encoder as possition feedback (which i should have, i know) but i used a 10K potentiometer to control the motion with my UMC I made, this can be seen at 04:55 in the video. For the pulling tests i removed the potentiometer as to not be restricted by the 180 degrees i get from it.

[@rnx516]

3 tonn servo

[@3D_Printing]

why not worm gears?

[@BrianBrocken]

They are harder to design, harder to print and there's a lot more friction between the plastic components so they wear out a lot faster.

Isn't that a DC motor instead of a Servo Motor??

[@BrianBrocken]

Hello Josh, yes you're right it uses a DC motor just like any other hobby servo. At the time of filming this video the output shaft didn't have any possition feedback on it, that's why I added the /gear reduction to the title.

How to measure the nm? What is the formula?

[@marlonjareck7367]

2kg at 6cm = 12 kg/cm so 1 kg at 6 cm = 6? //// 2 at 1 = 2?

[@BrianBrocken]

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).

[@marlonjareck7367]

@@BrianBrocken First: Thanks! I was looking to measure my old powerdrill Motors, but couldn't find anything. I'm still a bit confused. 9*6=54 why 55? Then I don’t get the part where you just multiply with the location factor to get N/m isn’t it Nm? But maybe this is all not so important for me right now, can I say ((kg*cm/100)*9.81 = Nm Thanks for your help!

[@BrianBrocken]

@Marlon Jareck, I'm sorry man you're right it is 54 but I rounded it to 55 because 54 barely wasn't the stall torque yet. You can use the formula (kg*cm/100)*9.81 = Nm. Np, anytime ;-)
