Why are gears made from bulk metallic glass ideal for precision robotics?
Gears always make noise. Cheaper spur gears are noisy because of the quick impact between gear teeth. Noise reduces with better made teeth or different gear shapes such as helical gears (they make less noise because the impact between teeth is more gradual). Cheap gears have more 'slop' in...- mechpeac
