Hello All,
I am trying to find a combination of gearing technologies to satisfy the below design challenge. I don't see a commercially available solution; I am hoping you might be able to help me understand what physical effects make this design problem hard, and propose solutions worth looking into.
So far it seems to me that the physical size, power level, gear ratio and peak torque are all reasonable given what is commercially available. There are many two stage planetary gearboxes that would meet all the requirements, except the very high input speed. So far the highest input speed I have seen on a gearbox is 10K RPM.

- They system must provide 129 oz in of peak torque.
- The system must be less than 50mm in diameter, preferably less than 42mm.
- The system's input will be one of two motors, both of which are in the 200-300 watt power range
- Motor A provides peak torque of 6.212 oz in. Motor A 's no load speed is 37.7k RPM.
- Motor B has similar peak torque but a 50k RPM no load speed.
- The system should attain the highest top speed possible while also meeting all the above specs.
- If possible, the gearing system will introduce a 45-90 degree turn away from the motor axis.
