Re: Cantilevering with Planetary Gear Motors

Or, if you don't need as much shaft as the PG output offers, and don't really need all that much transverse force (e.g. your 10 lb), you could add another (well-supported) bearing between the PG output block and the end of the shaft. The farther away the bearing is from the PG, and the closer the load is to the extra bearing, the better.
