How simulate motors in Gazebo without ROS

Hi!

I am looking forward to simulate a motor using Gazebo (and I am quite new to it). For now, I only have a revolute joint between two links. But I really need to add some motor characteristics such as

  • nominal torque
  • nominal speed
  • reduction due to training (with a certain ratio)
  • and maybe others characteristics ...

For the reduction part I was thinking of using a gearbox joint but when I try to use it, my robot collapses. So I am not sure to really understand how it works.

I saw that it exists using ROS and URDF but I am using only Gazebo and SDF format. Can you help me ? :)
