Sheet 2 — tubes, fittings, spring, hub, wires

The second 2D sheet (R23), on top of Sheet 1's layout: what the leg is made of. Carbon tube cuts and their loads, the five fittings, an extension spring at the knee sized so the RS02 holds the stand-up inside its rating, the wheel hub with the RS05 flush to the tire, the hip-band shell, and the wire path from the axle into the body. Proposals, drawn to the parts already on the order-now list — nothing here adds a buy. Readouts are computed.

1 · Leg — tubes, fittings, spring, wire path

One leg at the 92% stance. Blue is exposed carbon tube; tan blocks are the fittings with their 40 mm sockets over the tube ends; the brown zig-zag is the knee spring behind the joint; the red dashed line is the wire bundle, inside both tubes with a port and a service loop at each joint.

2 · Knee — spring geometry and the torque it buys

The knee in its own frame at the 92% bend, rear side to the left, with the spring anchors. The chart is knee torque against knee bend for a symmetric stance: gravity on one leg and on two, what the spring gives, and what is left for the motor on one leg. The spring is fitted to the two-leg gravity curve at the 92% and 75% stances.

3 · Hub — section on the axle

One wheel, cut through the axle, looking forward. The RS05 sits inside the 3.75" bead with its outboard face flush with the tire; a disc web takes the rim off its output flange; the stator bolts to the axle fitting on the inboard side. This is the fix for Sheet 1's "0.24" proud" flag.

4 · Hip band — shell section and wire entry

Front section through the hip axes. The lower shell is as wide as the two roll housings; the head narrows above it. The yokes hang outside the shell on the roll flanges, so the roll travel needs no slot. The wire loops enter the band's lower front face beside each roll housing.

What this sheet settles, and what it opens

ItemOn the sheetState
Tube16 × 14 mm carbon for both links (the BOM tube). Cuts and loads in view 1. The bonded socket is the limit, not the tube.Proposed
Knee springExtension spring behind the knee, fitted to the two-leg gravity curve. Takes the stand-up hold from ~12 N·m to under the RS02's 7 rated; costs the swing leg ~6 N·m to hold its knee bent.Proposed
RS05 hubFlush outboard, stator inboard on F5: nothing proud, inside the envelope. Closes Sheet 1's open call (10).Proposed
Head at the bandOne wider lower shell, not pods. Closes Sheet 1's open call (11).Proposed
Wire ports (R21)Bundles inside the tubes, ports in F2 / F3 / F5, service loops at the knee and hip, entry into the band beside the roll housings. No belts, so no belt-run rule applies.Proposed
RS05 output bearingThe rim is cantilevered on it; the radial / moment rating is not published in the spec table.Manual / bench
Bolt patternsEvery fitting's bolt circle comes from the vendor STEP files in cad/vendor; not drawn here.Sheet 3 / CAD
Spring partA rate and a free length, not a SKU. Size on the bench against the real knee; the fit here assumes a linear spring with zero preload at the straight leg.Bench
