These Actobotics continuous rotation gearbox kits with a 3:1 gear ratio are a game - changer. They come with threaded side mounts, which make it a breeze to attach a standard - sized servo to various Actobotics products like tubing and channel. This allows you to easily integrate a servo - powered gearbox into custom pan & tilt mechanisms, mechanical devices, or robotic structures. The kit features a hardened 1/2” stainless - steel final shaft with dual ABEC - 5 precision ball bearings. These bearings can handle up to 200 pounds of vertical and horizontal loads. Moreover, the output shaft has a 0.382' bore, enabling you to pass wires through the gearbox's center axis. Actobotics is an amazing robotics building system that uses 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 range of components, building complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects becomes a reality. Note: This gearbox kit doesn't include a servo. Check the related items section for different Hitec servo options. Kit Includes: 1x Channel Mount Gear Box - Continuous Rotation, 1x Hub Mount Gear, 1x 3:1 Servo Gear, 1x Potentiometer Mounting Bracket, 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. Features: Unlimited rated rotation, 3:1 gear ratio, standard servo size, 0.77' hub pattern. Documents: Product Page (SPG400A - CM - CR3), Assembly Instructions.
Using this gearbox kit is easy. First, find the components you need in the kit. Since the kit doesn't come with a servo, make sure to pick a Hitec servo from the related items section. Attach the standard - sized servo to the gearbox using the threaded side mounts. Then, connect the gearbox to Actobotics products like tubing or channel. You can use this setup for custom pan & tilt mechanisms, mechanical devices, or robotic structures. When it comes to passing wires, take advantage of the 0.382' bore in the output shaft. Just thread your wires through the center axis. As for maintenance, keep the gearbox clean from dust and debris. You can use a soft brush to gently clean it. Check the ball bearings regularly to make sure they can still handle the load. If you notice any signs of wear, consider replacing the parts. Also, be careful not to overload the gearbox as it can support up to 200 pounds of vertical and horizontal loads. Refer to the assembly instructions and product page for more detailed information.
