Channel Mount Gearbox Kit - 360° Rotation (3.8:1 Ratio)

These channel gearbox kits with a 360° rotation and a 3.8:1 gear ratio are a game - changer. They have threaded side mounts that make it a breeze to attach a standard - sized servo to a wide range of Actobotics products like tubing and channel. This means you can easily integrate a servo - powered gearbox into your custom pan & tilt setup, mechanical device, or robotic structure. The kit comes with a hardened 1/2” stainless - steel final shaft supported by dual ABEC - 5 precision ball bearings. These bearings can handle up to 200 pounds of vertical and horizontal loads. There's also a precision potentiometer inside the underdrive housing connected to the final output shaft, giving you accurate positioning feedback. Actobotics is an amazing robotics building system. It's based on extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to its two standardized hole patterns, you can intuitively connect almost all Actobotics components. With such a wide variety of components, building complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects is no longer a dream. Note: This gearbox kit doesn't include a servo. Check the related items section for different servo options, and remember, these kits are designed for Hitec servos only. Kit Includes: 1x Channel Mount Gear Box - 360° Rotation, 1x Hub Mount Gear, 1x 3.8:1 Servo Gear, 1x 0.77' x 0.77' Servo Hub, 1x ½' Clamp Hub, 1x 6 - 32 x 3/8' Set Screw, 4x 6 - 32 x ½' Socket Head Screw, 4x 6 - 32 x ¼' Phillips Head Screw.

Using this gearbox kit is quite simple. First, use the threaded side mounts to attach a standard - sized Hitec servo to your Actobotics products such as tubing or channel. This will let you incorporate the servo - powered gearbox into your custom pan & tilt or robotic project. When it comes to the precision potentiometer, it will give you accurate feedback on the position of the final output shaft. Just make sure to connect it properly during assembly. Now, for the important part - the bearings. They can support up to 200 pounds of load, but try not to overload them. As for maintenance, keep the bearings clean and lubricated. You can use a light - duty lubricant to ensure smooth operation. Also, check the screws regularly to make sure they're tight. And remember, this kit doesn't come with a servo, so you'll need to pick one from the related items section, and it has to be a Hitec servo.
