Subject: Re: BG motors Gear Ratio
NOT QUITE!
That would be a reasonable speed for the MAXON motors from MECI.
1:60 is about the ratio for the Micro Mo Motor (Faulhauber)
The Escaps I use are 1:105. Nice gear ratio for small walkers. JUST
BARELY geared high enough for small legs and excelent compliance.
The Nihon Mini Motors from BG Micro are geared even higher. I've never
measured it though. The RPM is 48. Faulhauber is 90 RPM, and the MAXON
are 186. If you want to figure out the numbers, go ahead. I have to get
going to school now.
