Abstract :
In the last decade new technologies for manufacturing of small mechanical components have been developed. Nowadays, the reduction of size and weight is very often one of the most important requirements in product design. Many applications in robotics, automation, medicine systems etc require powerful micro actuator. The powerful micro actuator has speeds up to high speed and high output torque efficiencies. To accomplish a powerful micro actuator, these powerful micro motors have to be combined with micro gear heads of the same outer diameter. So, we have developed micro BLDC motor and planetary type gear heads as powerful micro actuator. The micro BLDC motor has advantages that compact structure, high efficiency, high reliability. The micro planetary type gear heads have advantages that same-axle structure, high torque transmission, low noise in comparison with spur gear heads. In this study included micro BLDC motor and planetary type gear heads design manufacture
