In those mechanisms, a high-torque, low backlash gearbox might be just the thing, and a 3D printable split planetary harmonic drive for the popular NEMA 17 motors would be even better. Right up ...

Realizing that it’s essentially a cycloidal drive meshed with a planetary gear set, he got to work in CAD and, in seemingly no time, had a design to test. You can see the full results of his ...

The most basic configuration of this is a set of two fixed gears which rotate at a set speed, though many adopt more complex mechanisms, such as the epicyclic planetary gearbox featured in the ...
