To get high backdrivability, we have to reduce friction of power transmission considerably. Backdrivability provide actuators with high force sensitivity and high impact resistance which adapts to quick external force mechanically.Dec 5, 2017
What does Backdrivable mean?
backdrivable (comparative more backdrivable, superlative most backdrivable) (of a system of gears) able to operate in the reverse direction.
Can you Backdrive a harmonic drive?
Backdrivability of a harmonic drive, when used as torque increaser, means that the output shaft can be rotated via finite amount of torque. A high ratio harmonic drive is non-backdrivable because its output shaft cannot be turned by applying a torque on it.
