OpenTorque Actuator
From Open Source Ecology
Basics
- An Open Source Rotary Actuator developed by Gabrael Levine
- Uses a BLDC , 3D Printed Parts, and some other parts like bearings etc
Potential Future Modificiations
- Modify the plastic parts/gears via better plastics ( Polycarbonate vs Nylon vs ABS etc), or replace them with metal perhaps (need to see added weight vs strength and all that.
- Make an integrated ODrive pcb (adapt the Odrive to a ring/circular plate, not a rectangle, most likely after development of odrive first)
- See the off the shelf options reviewed by Skyentific , and This full dissasembly of one of them
