Less noise and speed, and higher torque is observed at this setting. This is a very versatile gearbox as it can be used for high speed applications or high torque requirements. It can be seen that as the gear ratio increases, it takes more force to stall the motor. This particular gearbox would be an ideal tool for anyone who is starting to learn about gears and power tranmissions. This project allowed me to explore topics covered in class.
Power transmission is a key issue in robotics.
Positions, velocities, accelerations, and jerks are also a major issue, depending on application. The components, of course, all have advantages and these advantages can really help the mechanism if used correctly. For example, cams are good for generating large amounts of force. It all depends on the application. Now that this class has concluded, I feel that I have only begun to learn about the various mechanisms in use.
