Miter gears

[Aren_Hill]

Anyone have suggestions for what type of miter gear setup will handle the power of a cim through a dewalt? i'm designing a drivetrain and i need some but i don't know what i need. A Mcmaster Carr # would be useful.

Thanks

You need to give us an example of the output speed, so that we can estimate the torque on the gear (rotational speed × torque = power). Also, what limits the torque on the gearbox (most robots reach an upper limit when their wheels slip, but if there's a braking mechanism, it must be considered)?

As an estimate, look at something like this (https://sdp-si.com/eStore/PartDetail.asp?Opener=Group&PartID=38534&GroupID=271) from SDP/SI (https://sdp-si.com/eStore/). If you mount it rigidly enough, it should withstand typical use in any of the three gears, assuming the DeWalt and CIM are configured per the NBD whitepaper.

the out put is the 12-1 4-1 and 3-1 of the cim motor and i want the gears to be able to accept full stall power and not break. i will be using dewalts in the NBD whitepaper one on each wheel.
