These hub - mountable aluminum gears are great for transferring motion from a motor or servo to a wheel or shaft. They have 84 teeth at a 32P gear pitch, an outer diameter of 2.688 inches, and a 0.5 - inch bore. They use the 0.77 - inch and 1.5 - foot hub pattern. Actobotics is a robotics building system with extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to two standardized hole patterns, most Actobotics components can be easily connected. The wide variety of components makes it possible to build complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects. Dimensions: 84 teeth at 32P, OD of 2.688 inches, 0.5 - inch bore, and hub patterns of 0.77 inches and 1.5 feet. Documents available: SketchUp Part, Product Page (615210).
Using these gears is easy. First, make sure the motor or servo you're using is compatible with the 0.5 - inch bore. Then, simply mount the gear onto the shaft of the motor or servo. Next, connect the gear to the wheel or shaft you want to transfer motion to using the appropriate hub pattern. When using these gears, keep in mind that they are made of aluminum, so avoid using excessive force that could cause damage. Also, make sure the components are properly aligned to ensure smooth motion transfer. For maintenance, regularly check the gears for any signs of wear or damage. You can clean them with a soft cloth to remove dust and debris. If you notice any issues, such as teeth wearing down or the gear becoming loose, it's best to replace it to keep your robotics project running smoothly.
