Integral Brushless Motor â US Patent 8,016, 893 Gear-Bearing ...
Graduate Category: Engineering and Technology Degree Level: MS in Mechanical Engineering Abstract ID# 950 Abstract: The Gear Bearing Drive Actuator Our team has developed a new motor technology that substantially reduces the size, weight, and cost of gear-motors beyond the capabilities of existing products.
Elias Brassitos Nicholas Candelino Brian Weinberg Nader Jalili
Two-Stage Differential Gearbox
Back-to-Back Bearing Arrangement
State-of-the art measurement system developed to characterize the new motor technology Bodine gearmotor with 266 rpm, 2.37 Nm GBD prototype with 263 rpm 3.42 Nm
Technology Description: Our device replaces traditional motor gear train assemblies with a single compact mechanism saving significant weight and space and cost. The technology allow unlimited gear ratios and torque densities higher than 130 Nm/kg • •
3 Patent Applications 1 Patent Granted
Gear-Bearing Technology
Integral Brushless Motor – US Patent 8,016, 893 Commercial Applications: Our actuator technology is now applied at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory to develop the robotic joints onboard the future Mars Rover. Applications include: Transportation (automotive, aerospace, marine, rail) Robotics (medical, MRI, manipulation) Power Tools, Industrial Machinery, Toys
