| | | Ok, this is called a "Slip Gear" or "Torque Gear" It is used to prevent over rotation by means of an internal clutch, the 2.5 - 5.0 NCM I belive means the range of operable force applied before the clutch disengages. Nano Centemeter of force. In (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | | | | Oh ya, and I used one in the Neck of the Hexapod-armature. So when the neck moved all the way to the Right or Left, the slip gear kicked in and it would'nt break it's own neck. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

| | | | | | Don't punish yourself! At least you rendered the symbols from the gear correctly. There are at least four errors in the message I was responding to: (1) confusing the prefix n for nano with the unit symbol N for newton; (2) attaching two prefixes (...)

| | | | | | (...) Using a unit of energy for torque would be very strange. You get an energy if you turn s.th. against a torque through some angle (expressed in radians, I think). Angles have no unit (or just 1), hence the units of torque and energy are equal. (...) (24 years ago, 5-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
