    Best way to couple sun gear to rotor for a hollow shaft application

    @mfgenggear Thanks for your response. Let me clarify some details. As you have pointed out, most sun gears use an internal spline. However in the design that I want to achieve, there is a hollow shaft going through the sun gear (first picture), which means that the sun needs to be coupled on...

    Best way to couple sun gear to rotor for a hollow shaft application

    Hello all, I am currently designing a hollow shaft actuator using a custom compound planetary gearbox. The issue I am encountering is to find a way to couple the sun gear (15T, mod1) to the rotor, while still having the hollow shaft go through the sun gear. As the actuator is quite thin, the aun...
