High Torque (43.33:1) Planetary Gearset, NEMA 17 Mount, No Hardw

pinshape

I've re-designed this gearbox with significantly reduced backlash and I consider this one outdated. Take a look at the re-design here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2101218. I also designed a Demo Mount and arm for this, which can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2084886. This gearbox has a gear ratio of 43.333333:1. When either Sun Gear #1 or Sun Gear #3 are turned, (or both at the same speed), ring gear #2 will rotate in relation to Ring Gear #1 and Ring Gear #3. This results in Ring Gear #2 rotating once for every 43.3 turns of the drive sun gear. Ring Gear #1 & #3 Should be held at the same potential to achieve the least amount of backlash. Sun Gear #2 serves no real function except to space out the planet gears, thereby achieving more strength in the gearbox. You will need to arrange the planet gears as shown in the above picture. If you spin this gearset without enclosing the rings, the planet gears could skip a tooth and get out of alignment. For this reason, I've included a ring that holds the ring gears shut if you don't want to print out the demo mount and demo arm. For more similar gearboxes like this one, please check out my other Things! // Dimensions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I have included the sketch to make parts for this gearbox, which is also used to make the NEMA 17 Mount and the Crane/ Demo Mount Project. This Sketch Provides .2mm of clearance all the way around. For those of you without a caliper, The Ring Gears are 15mm Wide with a 1.5mm space between them. If you choose to, you can make custom sun gears also. Gears were Designed in Fusion 360 and the Gears in Section #1 & #3 of the Design are all Module 1 with a 30 Degree Helix angle, 20 mm Wide, scaled in the "Z" Direction at .75. The Gears in Section #2 of the Design are almost Identical to those. They are module 1.11, 20mm wide, 30 degree helix angle, scaled at .75 in the Z direction. I've also included the Fusion Project. Hey! I've never had someone post a make for me before, would you do it?
