Re: Sturdy Gearboxes

as with all things, it depends. A versa planetary can do the job if the output shaft is not supporting the weight of the robot and you take care not to exceed the maximum torque. The same goes for almost every gear box. Last year, we used a CIM on a 100:1 versa planetary with a CIM motor driving a 4 inch diameter pulley as the lift motor. This was fine up to about 4 totes and a container before the movement started to become jerky.
