Re: Alternate motors with anti-backdrive systems
Hi Sean, how's it going?
The motor is going to hold the position of two Festo actuators applying a moment about an axis, so I'm going to need a fair bit of torque. I'm positive that a DeWalt 18v would do the trick, but it fits really awkwardly in the design. I'm sort of balancing it against the great packing factor of that Robot Marketplace motor. It's worm-driven, but it packs a lot better in the limited space I have. I was mainly wondering if there are other transmissions that have a separate mechanical anti-backdrive system like the DeWalt transmission, as opposed to the mesh-friction anti-backdrive aspect of worm drives.
