Planetary Geared Clamping Knob

Planetary Geared Clamping Knob

thingiverse

Clamping knob (or thumbscrew) design with internal planetary gears. The idea is that gear reduction allows for more torque (thus clamping force) and/or fine adjustment. No specific scale to the .blend file, so it's something you'll have to figure out on your own. Resize/adjust as needed. By the way this is a prototype design, so it likely needs some improvements like retaining clips, better gear ratio, etc. At least you can get some idea of how it's supposed to work.
