planetary gear questions
The Andymark site mentions that "theoretically, an infinite amount of stages could be stacked on this gearbox" (GEM500 Gearbox, 3 stage, 49.4:1 ratio am-0401). What is the practical limitation for the number of stages that can be used with a CIM motor?

Our tube lifting mechanism uses a screw that has 12 revolutions for full travel.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks.
