SWYFT Spike FTC Planetary Gearmotors - 50:1 Ratio

SR-GEARBOX-36-03-50 SWYFT Spike FTC Planetary Gearmotors - 50:1 Ratio is a SWYFT Spike series drive with a three-stage planetary gearbox and a 50:1 gear ratio. This model provides a speed increase over higher torque options, while maintaining sufficient torque for a wide range of FTC engineering applications.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Speed & Torque Balance: 50:1 gear ratio provides ~73.5 kgf·cm torque at ~120 rpm output speed (at 6000 motor rpm). This makes the drive suitable for fast yet powerful operations.
• Triple-Stage Planetary Gearset: Provides high efficiency and smooth operation, ideal for applications where rotational stability under load is essential.
• Application Versatility: Great for high-speed take-ups, flywheel launch systems, lightweight lifts, pivots, and other applications where a combination of speed and force is required.
• Compatibility and Mounting: Housing features standard M4 and M3 mounting patterns (REV and goBILDA compatible), plus additional M4 holes for flexible side mounting.
• Output Shaft Flexibility: Comes with a 7mm hex socket. A 5mm adapter is available for compatibility with the REV Motion ecosystem.
• FTC Compatible: Officially approved for use in FIRST Tech Challenge competitions.

Technical Specifications:

• Gear Ratio: 50:1
• Output Speed: ~120 rpm (at 6000 motor rpm)
• Output Torque: ~73.5 kg·cm
• Gearbox Type: Planetary, 3 stages
• 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 need a drive for mechanisms where speed of operation is important without a significant loss in force. An ideal choice for creating fast and efficient robot work units.
