[M] Calculation updates and 15mm diameter?

A project log for Tetoroidiv [gd0152]

A Ø17mm, water resistant BLDC servo with BT v5.2 and zero cogging.

Tetoroidiv-16 gets a Quick Stop force of 20.7mN, which should be enough to create virtual walls at speed.

I've gone through all the 16mm brushless motor datasheets to find the constant that converts Kt to KV, and this is the data I have so far:

9.375
9.4125
9.425
9.4257
9.5625
9.5583
9.5468
9.5523
9.4572
9.4589
9.4674
9.4174

The average here is 9.47 which converts between mN.m to V/kRPM. To convert to V/RPM, the constant would be 9470.

Due to the existence of 5PH belt, which should be 8mm wide, and 15mm wide FSRs, I did look into the possibility of using 5PH317 along with a 15mm diameter motor that has a 46mm rotor length. This length was chosen so that I could potentially use 50mm wide SS-430 foil.

However, because those 15mm wide FSRs have a 10kg range instead of a 500g range (implying lower resolution for sensing forces from 0 - 300gf) and because of this paper finding out that key spacing down to 17mm does not seem to affect typing speed, but 16mm, I don't think there are suitable benefits to try for a 15mm x 150mm Tetrinsic.

The following rotor design has seemed rather stable over these past few weeks so I've sent it to the rotor supplier:

I like how a few notable dimensions are divisible by 9. The rotor inertia is 1.65g.cm^2.
