Gearboxes used in the drivetrain of intelligent robots are key mechanical components that play a significant role in determining the performance of modern robotic systems. Gearboxes employing the planetary gear mechanism, known to achieve a wide range of reduction ratios while remaining relatively cost-effective, have recently been adopted in robot drivetrains. In this paper, we utilize domestic technology to fabricate a gearbox using a compound planetary gear mechanism and conduct an evaluation of eight performance aspects of the developed gearbox through the fabrication of a dynamometer and a jig. The dynamometer comprised of the gearbox, input motor, input-output torque sensors, and a powder brake. By driving the input motor and applying braking force with the powder brake, we compare input torque sensor values with output torque sensor values to derive results. A test jig is created, consisting of an input motor, gearbox, and encoder sensor, for the measurement of inverse operation characteristics and backlash. By conducting a performance evaluation of the developed high-strength, high-reduction-ratio compact planetary gearbox, we validate the potential of the testing system and extend the scope of domestic gearbox technology development.
