Small/compact speed increaser/gear box source..........???
You can buy epicyclics at a reasonable price from this Japanese company. They work pretty well at the sort of torques you need. Matex supplies a wide variety of planetary gear reducers/increasers/transmissions and electric actuators.- bcstractor
