It's time for another Cycloidal Drive reducer, this time with correctly shaped Cycloidal discs. I'm using nylon bushings this time to try to reduce weight and cost, but will it work out how I expect for this version of the Cycloidal Drive?

I don't think the bushings are to blame for the noise. Bushings are virtually always quieter than bearings. Sounded to me like something was crunchy, like the bearings or bolts grating against each other, but hard to tell over video. Nylon bushes definitely shouldn't have made it louder. Also, I've been saying this for a while, but you could just print the outer gear instead of using bearings or bushings. There should only be rolling contact between two cycloidal gears, so if done properly the bearings and bushings would not rotate at all, thereby making them pointless. Would be much cheaper, lighter and easier to assemble if you just printed the outer cycloid. Gets rid of the bushings/bearings, their metal axles etc and it might even be stronger because all the stress isn't concentrated on the small pins and where they are embedded in the plastic. Also might have less lash because of having a full tooth shape to engage with.
@LanceThumping 2 роки тому
Said the same in my comment. If you look at professional machines they use static metal parts with some lubrication, no bearings or even extra bushings. If anything some of the extra noise could be due to the bushings or bearings allowing for slipping and increased vibrations compared to if it was just a solid 3D print. Could also probably shrink the parts because he wouldn't need to make room for the bushings for external teeth. Shrink the rim around the casing to a thin wall just to keep dust out and move the fasteners to where the steel pins are now.
@SgtBurned 2 роки тому

@bernardoneves9 2 роки тому
Hey James. My experience from mechanical repairs tells me that gearbox would probably run 20x better if it was packed with industrial grease. That much mechanical force and movement going through a tiny layer of lubricant isn't the way to go (probably why it makes so much noise). I know it would be very messy, but I really think that if you could seal the gearbox and packed it with grease you could probably substitute all the bearings with nilon and it would work better then the bearing version. All the plastic on plastic contact would be going through a thick layer of grease increasing eficiency and massively reducing noise. I might be wrong but maybe it's worth a test.
@leftaroundabout 2 роки тому
It would certainly be quieter, but I doubt it would run very well. The cycloidal disks don't leave much space where the grease could move around, so you would get a lot of viscosity friction. No issue for low-speed high-torque operation, but not at all good for quick movements.
@foldionepapyrus3441 2 роки тому
@@leftaroundabout If its sealed as suggested you don't need to use a high viscosity grease - even really thin compressor oil for instance could be used - don't even need to fill the whole thing either just fill it up enough that the gears will easily and rapidly carry the lubrication to the furthest points from the sump at the bottom. So the idea can be done - I would not personally suggest trying to go quite that thin - as a 3d print as a sealed chamber is the wrong approach, it is bound to loose its oil to easily - if you want to go very thin 3d print a former and frame and use fibreglass to create the sealed compartments - basically FDM 3d prints are generally rather porous so really light lubrication will be hard to use directly... The idea definitely has merit, and makes the design more practical - needing a small fortune of bearings when it really should not be required just adds costs. The only question is at what viscosity of lubricant does the porous nature of FDM prints mean your going to loose all the lubrication without some form of sealing the layers.. I think you will find that a thin grease will work fine, and not really need much in the way of redesign to keep in - but I've not tried FDM prints with every grade of grease/oil going so a good viscosity to get well lubricated with low enough resistance might not work as easily.

@@jamesbruton Bearings still shouldn't be needed for a lot of the areas you have been putting them. Cycloidal drives are supposed to be all rolling friction anyways, so adding bearings just adds unnecessary weight, cost, and size.
@LanceThumping 2 роки тому
You should definitely be able to replace the output shafts bearings with more nylon bushings. Also since all contact is supposed to be rolling contact by default, you could get away with 3D printing the external teeth instead of using nylon bushings at all. Looking at industrial designs they do just use bare metal with oil/grease and not bearings or anything in those areas. My gut says that those elements being able to rotate/slip especially freely causes extra noise and losses.
@turnerroll9431 2 роки тому
industrial designs can get away with that because of highly precise machining tolerances and very smooth/hard surfaces. I don't know if printed plastic would be able to hold up in that sort of situation.
@FreeOfFantasy 2 роки тому
The industry solves that with tempered hand polished surfaces. The bushings are mainly so the discs don't wear too fast.
@foldionepapyrus3441 2 роки тому
@@turnerroll9431 Certainly won't last as long being plastic - but being plastic throw enough grease in there and just let it wear in as needed - as long as the tolerances in the design are not awful the 3d printer will make sufficiently accurate parts... Really should not need bearings for any of its teeth like bits, quite possibly not for anything internal at all - just the main shaft will definitely need bearing to deal with the robot dogs weight - it pretty much takes up all the nasty loads - so for all the rest of the internals the forces and friction inside the gears should be low enough to last fairly well as greased plastic... A nearly all plastic construction has a few advantages, pretty obvious ones really, and shouldn't really have much in the way of downsides for this use case. - It would be better to machine in a slippery plastic or metal the moving parts for better longevity and being able to keep the tolerance smaller and so cut down on slop in the movement a little more. - When the moving parts do start to wear out being a single integrated print means much more reprinting to do, any flaw in the 3d print could cause more rapid delamination around the layer lines. - run really hard on a hot day maybe you will get to the softening point of the plastic you used But none of these I would expect to be particularly bad, and to meet the goal of easy to replicate open source hardware its hard to argue with a well toleranced set of 3d prints for almost all the parts - less bearings, rods, bushings, screws to source if more of it can be printed on the relatively available, 'simple' and cheap FDM machines..

@AmaroqStarwind 2 роки тому
Some design upgrades to consider... - You can 3D-print your own roller bearings, and with a double taper (a taper on both sides) to boot, so that you can also combat axial loads. - A hybrid between a bearing and a bushing might be cool. - Tensegrity structures, compliant mechanisms and shapes of constant width could all potentially help somewhere in the design. - Herringbone gears. - Textured parts. - Hexagons are the bestagons! - In addition to O-Drives, also add some IMUs and other sensors. Some other tuning you can do; - Lubricate everything with silicone grease, teflon lubricant, graphite, or some combination thereof. - Make some tweaks to your 3D printer settings. (Teaching Tech, CNC Kitchen, Maker's Muse and Tom Stanton all have stuff that can help.) - Thread locker can help prevent bolts from coming loose, and also help distribute stress more evenly (bolts and screws are stress concentrators). - A very light adhesive between parts when you bolt them together can further even out stress.

The bushings should rotate since nylon on metal shaft gives less friction than nylon on plastic cyclodial disk. To fix this: 1. More clearance between bushings and outer shell so that both are not touching. 2. Cutting each bushing in two with a spacer between both so that both split parts can run in opposite direction.

We'd probably use metal parts instead of PLA, and the KV of the motor would be around 400KV with 4s or 6s. Do you think the gearbox could handle it?? Is it worth trying?

Look for nylon bearings. I have found them in both ball bearing and needle bearing designs. They ought to be quieter and smoother than the nylon spacers. Also, give that test leg a good work out. It may smooth out with use and it's rougher now because of the ridges from 3d printing.
@EngineeringSpareTime 2 роки тому
The design looks way better now :) With the “actual“ cycloidal shape you increase the number of contact points, thus it more difficult to get the fit of the discs right. Despite what’s written here in different comments, there is not just rolling contact on the cycloidal discs and the pins! So rollers definitely help here! (IMPORTANT) The generated noise is mainly driven by you disc design and the load distribution that comes with it (load distribution; tolerances..). Try to play around with your printed discs tolerances. A slight preload can help a lot, and yes this reduces the efficiency on the friction side a bit, the load transmission could be improved though.. ans add a bit more grease as well - choose a proper one though. For position control of those joins keep in mind that the damping is quite high - that’s good. On the other hand though, there is quite a big hysteresis compared to your former belt drives. In this application it could be fine though, since it doesn’t have to be too precise
@jamesbruton 2 роки тому
That's what I thought - when the 'peak' of the disc comes past the pins while the gear is engaged with the other side it's definitely not rolling. I had to tolerance the disc down to get it to work at all. I just bought 400 bearings for about $70 from China though, so that'll be the way forward.
@EngineeringSpareTime 2 роки тому
@@jamesbruton Exactly, it‘s just pure rotation in one point at a time. Since this kinda transmission is designed to have multiple contact points to distribute the load, all the other points are not just rolling - as you said. Yeah, the disc shape and tolerance is quite demanding. To get it working with multiple contact points it might need a lot of testing and matching of the parts - 3D printing has its limits here. The most critical part is the friction: By reducing the size of the disc to get it working without load (not multiple contact points), the amount of contact pressure in the one point under load increases and reduces the capability of the transmission. Your bearings would definitely help here, but it‘s quite some weight and parts. I have also thought about multiple ways of designing and building a ‘simple‘ transmission thats still back drivable. My best approach yet is a two stage belt transmission where the motor sits inside the large output pulley and two different pulley sizes to keep it as small as possible. I achieved a 28:1 transmission ratio and it‘s still backdrivable…(and yes it can handle high torques: tested with 30 Nm and max speed 720 deg/s (at lower torque..)) You can see it in my 6 axis robot vid in case you’re interested. Such a design might be suitable for your openDog
