Re: pic: Planetary Wheel - Exploded View 4
Matt,
I like it! It has potential for reducing weight and keeping CG low, etc.
Andy, what if you changed the bearing plate, increased the surface area of the inside diameter of the hub and added a second plate on the outside so that you could use radial needle bearings on both sides of the wheel? That would take some pretty good side loads. The weight of the robot would be distributed to the bearings on the planetary set, right?
