About this model
Thingiverse mirror The R-64 is a powerful pneumatic rotational stepper motor. It uses three pistons which engage on a gear with 8 or 16 teeth. The torque is huge thanks to the 24 mm x 24 mm piston surface area. A M5 threaded bottom plate is available for use with convenient push-in fittings. I also designed several two-cylinder rotational (and linear) motors as described in this paper, but these are patented and therefore not so easy to share here. In contrast, the three-cylinder, single-acting motor designs only make use of prior existing technology and are no problem to share. The R-64 presented here is my best attempt so far to circumvent my own patent and maximize torque within the given dimensions. Good luck in building it!
