Differential Parameters:
How to choose the differential version:
ZENE Bricks differentials are generally of two types: Square, suitable for 1:8 scale cars, such as the flagship models 42143 and 42232; and H-type, suitable for 1:10 scale cars, such as 42096 and 42156, as well as F1 cars.
Both types are available in dual-input and single-input versions. Dual-input is mainly suitable for cars with engine linkage. If the engine is removed, you can consider single-input only.
There are two types of outputs: male connectors are used to connect to universal joints, allowing the differential and wheels to be on different planes; and cross-head connectors can directly connect to the output shaft, generally used for outputs on the same plane, but this depends on your design.
Brushless Motor Parameters:
With to 1 : 4 planetary reduction box, suitable for vehicles under 3KG.
* If you need a reduction box with a reduction ratio of 1:16, please contact me separately
- Regarding the motor, we designed a brushless reduction motor with a metal planetary gearbox. The power requirements of the motor are that the maximum input voltage is less than 13.2V and the maximum current is 38A. Regarding the parameters of the motor performance, the maximum power is 500W, and the maximum The output speed is 50000RPM, and the KV value is 3600KV.
- The motor torque parameters have not been tested yet, but the power of 500W is enough. It can be paired with a suitable reduction gearbox to reduce the speed and increase the torque.
Why do we use this transaxle instead of the one that comes with Lego?
- The drive axle of Lego bricks has sliding friction and a large friction coefficient. When the load is small, the bricks will wear out after continuous rotation for several minutes or more than ten minutes. When the load is large, the friction will be more serious. There may also be severe heat that causes the bricks to melt and be damaged. In response to these problems, the drive axle I designed has built-in ball bearings, which greatly reduces the friction coefficient. The heat generated by friction is very small and almost no heat is generated. Therefore, we have never encountered metal heating in this case.
- The only one problem is basically caused by hitting things, causing the building blocks to be separated from the metal parts and damaged.
