SWYFT Spike FTC Planetary Gearmotors - 3.7:1 Ratio

SR-GEARBOX-36-01-04 SWYFT Spike FTC Planetary Gearmotors - 3.7:1 Ratio is a SWYFT Spike series drive with a single-stage planetary gearbox and a gear ratio of 3.7:1. This is the solution for applications that require a speed as close to direct transmission as possible, but with a slight increase in torque and protection of the motor from peak loads.

Key Features and Specifications:

• Maximum Speed with Increased Torque: The 3.7:1 gear ratio provides an output speed of ~1622 rpm with a torque of ~5.44 kg cm (at 6000 motor rpm), which is close to direct engine speed, but with a useful boost.
• Single-stage planetary gear: Ensures high efficiency, minimal losses and compactness, which is critical for maintaining the dynamics of high-speed systems.
• Versatility of Application: Ideal for ultra-high-speed flywheel launch systems that require extreme speeds, high-speed fans, as well as for drives where it is necessary to maintain the maximum motor speed, but slightly increase the torque.
• Compatibility and mounting: The case is equipped with standard M4 and M3 mounting patterns for easy integration with REV and goBILDA components, as well as additional M4 holes for side mounting.
• Output shaft flexibility: Comes standard with a 7 mm hex socket. A 5mm adapter can be installed to work with REV Motion components.
• FTC Compatible: Officially approved for use in FIRST Tech Challenge competitions.

Technical Data:

• Gear Ratio: 3.7:1
• Output Speed: ~1622 rpm (at 6000 motor rpm)
• Output Torque: ~5.44 kg·cm
• Gearbox Type: Planetary, 1 stage
• Motor Type: SWYFT Spike (nominal voltage 12V, no-load current 0.4A max, motor torque 1.47 kg cm)
• Encoder: 2-channel quadrature, 28 PPR, compatible with 3.3V and 5V.

For whom: For FTC teams that require extreme speeds for specialized applications (e.g., throwing systems) and who want to get the most out of the motor by slightly increasing its torque output for more stable operation under load.
