    I considered using brushless motor for robotic arm application before. But it seems to me that position control is hard to achieve with these types of motor as their rpm quickly ramps up with increased voltage. These kind of motor’s temperature also rises quickly after running for a while. Really curious how you would address these problems. Keep up the great work!

    • @BluBird1598
      @BluBird1598 5 лет назад

      I have more experience with brushed motors. However, I know brushless motors have a Kv constant, which means the angular velocity is proportional to the input voltage. Because of this, given enough reduction and a high resolution encoder, it should be sufficient to use a simple PID controller for position control.

    • @dekutree64
      @dekutree64 5 лет назад +1

    Beautiful design! One question though: Are you sure that that motor can produce 1 Nm of torque? Is that peak or continuous, or perhaps stall? At what current? Having worked on things like this before, you need much larger motors to consistently produce that level of torque. Looking forward to seeing future videos!

    • @CalvinoBear
      @CalvinoBear 5 лет назад +1

      And by larger I mean with a larger r gap, such as the robodrive ILM and other large r gap motor designs that you mention in your other videos. You seem to be pretty aware of the low ratio high rgap field of work in robotics, but there are certainly challenges to maxing out the torque on these motors consistently. Looking forward to seeing what you do! Just curious, what are the specifications of the robot you want to build? Your other videos where you’ve shared things like that are wonderful, as there is little content on how to build machines that have and meet actual requirements. Keep up the good work!

    Hi, why brushless motors and not cheap servos in stepper sizes? I just bought 3 JMC iHSV57-30-18-36 180W integrated servos(with driver) for my CNC mill. I paid 240€ including shipping. They also have 100W and a 150W version. The come in Nema 23 size with the driver hocked up tot he chassis. You can easily control them just like real steppers. But they have massive torque and you won't lose and steps as they have an encoder as well.

    • @Skyentific
      @Skyentific  5 лет назад +1

      Thank you for your comment. First to save the space, and to make the actuator more compact. Second, only the elasticity of the big belt will influence on the encoder readings. But finally, the tests will show if this was a good idea or a bad idea :)

    • @AppleCakes7
      @AppleCakes7 5 лет назад

      @@Skyentific Thanks for responding, I'm really looking forward to seeing you power up the actuator. The encoder should still work well for motor control, but it is rare to see an encoder used for FOC placed somewhere other than the motor shaft so I was curious about your choice. As long as the first belt does not skip I think it will prove to be a good idea!

    • @BluBird1598
      @BluBird1598 5 лет назад +1

      R J It is beneficial to place the encoder closer to the output as any backlash in the transmission will result in an inaccurate encoder reading. Putting the encoder near the output reduces error due to backlash. This does cause you to lose effective resolution though. In most cases, reducing backlash is more important imo.

    • @AppleCakes7
      @AppleCakes7 5 лет назад +1

      @@BluBird1598 In this case (with the ODrive) the encoder is being used to measure rotor position and power the stator accordingly (FOC control). Placing the rotor encoder on the output of the gearbox can give a better reading of joint angle but it could be at the cost of having an inaccurate rotor angle reading, leading to inefficient or ineffective control of the motor. In this case the joint has low elasticity/backlash, and the belt linking the encoder to the motor should not introduce any problems.
      I believe it is common to have more than one encoder in actuators with inconsistency between rotor and joint angle. For example in a series elastic actuator two encoders are required: one for motor control, and one for the output.
      In systems that use DC motors the motor encoder is not necessary and you should only need an output encoder.

      This is mostly to keep the overall size reasonably compact.
      If it''ll be only two pulley system with this ratio one of two will hold right:
      1. Small pulley should be smaller - that'll cause high stress on it and bell slippage.
      2. Big pulley should be bigger - and make overall size huge and clunky.
      Two pulley system here looks like a good compromise.

    What materials did you use for your 3D Prints and what printer did you use to get the prints so nicely done? Superb Job by the way, EXTRA!!!

      Thank you. I use Prusa i3 MK3. And PETG for the filament material.

    Isnt the gear ratiotooo less?? Will it have enough torque with that low rpm?

    • @Skyentific
      @Skyentific  5 лет назад

      I am developing another Actuator, it will have the same motor and higher gear ratio. I hope it will have higher torque.

    Will the brushless motors allow your arm to move with greater speed than the stepper motor based one? If you had to hypothesize, how long do you think it would take this joint in a full arm to rotate 90 degrees at full speed?

    Awesome video, keep up the great work! I am working on a mechanism of similar design. Originally I used the same mxl belts that you showed in this video but I was having a lot of trouble getting the tension right with a simple idler, especially in the interface with a 3d printed pulley under high torque. I suggest you make the switch to XL belts (teeth 1/5" apart, the same size as the timing belt in most automotive coolant pumps iirc) if you end up running into the same issue, the difference was night and day for me. Also you may want to try using some type of lead screw mechanism so that you can really put some force on that idler since its probably going to be difficult to get enough tension by hand and in your current configuration will likely creep in its slot causing a loss of tension over time. I am using automotive tapered roller bearings for my joints (probably overkill) and I found that they need a significant preload in order to function properly so I have a dedicated flange mechanism that pulls the two sides of the bearing together which works but adds unnecessary weight. Like others have said I am interested to see where you got that bearing, it looks to be a good solution.

    I had no idea BLDCs are so much more efficient than steppers. You would need a huge nema 23 to get to 1 Nm.

    @chrisw1462 5 лет назад

    Anything is only as strong as it's weakest part. I realize this is a prototype, so I hope you plan to assemble the real thing with splined or keyed shafts. Anything else would be too weak to take the torque. After that, assuming you can hold a decent sized arm with that motor, the belts will be the limiting factor for how much 'strength' it has, and I have my doubts about those belts. Have you considered a screw-type drive gear instead?

  • @hyeonseokseong2431

    Is that 3d printed parts enough to endure that?
    I recommend you to use carbon based filament.
    Now i am using ONYX and fiber reinforced filament made by Markforged.

    • @Skyentific
      @Skyentific  5 лет назад +1

      The carbon based filament would be great for this. But for the moment I don't have the budget for this.

    Great explanation. I`m new to the robotics field.
    I`m designing a 6-axis robot with harmonic drives.
    I`m planning to implement the robot as a hand guiding for position teaching.
    Since harmonic drives has high torque, is this possible to do with stepper motors? If someone has an idea about these things, please leave a comment.
