Hello all,
I am building some robotic/automation projects. I know general torque guidlines, but I have maybe a little bit of a more practical question. Question: what are some general guidelines for using steppers in terms of their capabilities. Particulary say for example I use a nema 8: geared correctly can a mechanism linked to it be moved by hand? If I shoved a linkage would it "slip?" What size stepper to create a robotic hand that can lift up a 10lb weight?
Are their some kind of general guidelines for this kind of stuff?
thanks!
