Extend CIM-Box Shaft
 

Does anyone know if there is a way to extend the shaft of a CIMple Box gearbox? We would like it to be a a couple inches longer.

If you have some extra hex shaft of the same size, you could add on to it using a shaft coupler.

I know they make longer shafts for the tough boxes, so you might try and see if those would work in this situation?

Hello,

You could replace the CIMple box output shaft with a Toughbox Long Output Shaft (am-0211) if you turn down the hex portion of the TB shaft to 0.380" long. I have attached a PDF of what the final shaft should look like. Note: the groove cut into the TB shaft for the E-Clip will still be there, since you still want the shaft to be .500" thick on the round portion. If you have any further questions, please let us know!
