Re: pic: Snap Rings Or Shaft Collars?

I am presuming, based on the description, that this is:

I don't recall how the Toughbox gears are arranged, but I don't believe that they transmit torque across the snap ring groove -- the short end is there for a bearing and for the encoder. It's probably difficult to find a different application for this shaft that puts torque on both sides of the groove.
