Bidirectional brake capstan/pulley

thingiverse

This is a dual-purpose capstan/pulley system designed for robotics applications. Its spinning axis remains in motion, even when one disk brake is slowed down, causing the pulley/capstan to rotate in one direction, while slowing down the other disk causes it to spin in the opposite direction. The key feature of this design lies in its ability to drive cables or belts continuously as long as the axis spins. Included are Freecad files for easy customization and modification.
