The AndyMark CIM-Sim Gearbox Kit for 550 Motors, 5:1 Ratio, Steel, 0.125in. Input Shaft, 8mm Output is a meticulously engineered gearbox designed to integrate two 500-series motors, providing an output shaft akin to that of a 2.5-inch CIM motor. This gearbox is crafted to accommodate an encoder, enhancing its functionality for various applications. The kit is delivered unassembled, requiring assembly of its components, which include all necessary screws, pinions, and spacers for mounting two 550 motors and an encoder.
Constructed from durable steel, the gearbox features a 0.125-inch diameter input shaft and an 8mm output with a 2mm keyway, ensuring robust performance. The gearbox operates with a 5:1 ratio, making it suitable for applications demanding precise torque and speed control. It is essential to apply grease for optimal operation and longevity, with a recommendation to use red tacky grease. A 'run in' period of continuous operation without grease for 30 minutes is advised to allow the gear teeth to wear in smoothly, after which regular greasing is necessary to maintain performance.
