Well, just make sure all the stuff that is supposed to be hard is hardened, and you'll have no problems. Your stuff has always worked great!

This is a great idea... it lets us mount heavy motors down low, and have relatively low tension in the chain/pulley that leads up to the gearbox at the shoulder... or where ever. Just the other day I was looking at worm drives to run a shoulder joint and thinking how helpful an off-the-shelf solution in the right size and weight range would be.

Hmm... about the only thing I'd ask for now is for it to have an encoder or potentiometer mount built into the output shaft, and for an integrated brake mechanism to lock it in place.

Not that we can't take care of those items ourselves, of course.
