Abstract
An offset torque multiplier includes an input planetary gearset configured to receive an input torque. The input planetary gearset includes an input sun gear. The input sun gear is rotatable about a first axis of rotation. The offset torque multiplier includes an output planetary gearset configured to provide an output torque. The output planetary gearset includes an output sun gear. The output sun gear is rotatable about a second axis of rotation. The second axis of rotation is offset from the first axis of rotation. The offset torque multiplier includes at least one intermediate planetary gearset coupled between the input planetary gearset and the output planetary gearset. The output torque is greater than the input torque.
