Re: Securing gears on shafts

Unfortunately, no hub in this case...

Re: Securing gears on shafts

We used PVC with an ID that was slightly larger than our shaft diameter as spacers for our wheels. I don't see why you couldn't use them on gears. If you have the machining capability, I would use roll pins.

I didn't personally have the clearance for spacers but I'll consider putting enough clearance in for future gearboxes. I found roll pins the easiest way. A few washers here and there helped space things.
