SWYFT Spike FTC Planetary Gearmotors - 5.18:1 Ratio

SR-GEARBOX-36-01-05 SWYFT Spike FTC Planetary Gearmotors - 5.18:1 Ratio is a SWYFT Spike series drive with a single-stage planetary gearbox and a gear ratio of 5.18:1. This model is designed for applications where the highest possible speed is required, but with a small increase in torque and reduced motor load compared to a direct coupled system.

Key Features and Specifications:

• High Speed with Increased Torque: The 5.18:1 gear ratio provides a very high output speed of ~1158 rpm while increasing torque to ~7.61 kg·cm (at 6000 motor rpm).
• Single-stage planetary gearset: Provides high efficiency, compact size, and minimal power loss, ideal for creating high-speed systems.
• Versatility: Ideal for high-speed flywheel launch systems, very fast conveyors, cooling fans, and other applications where extreme speeds are required with little extra force.
• Compatibility and Mounting: The housing 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 7mm hex socket. A 5mm adapter is available for use with REV Motion components.
• FTC Compatible: Officially approved for use in FIRST Tech Challenge competitions.

Technical Specifications:

• Gear Ratio: 5.18:1
• Output Speed: ~1158 rpm (at 6000 motor rpm)
• Output Torque: ~7.61 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 developing specialized high-speed mechanisms, where the key parameter is the rotational speed, as well as for cases when it is necessary to slightly “unload” the motor, providing it with an optimal operating mode.
