Re: 90 Degree Gearbox?

Leeland,
I would be remiss to not remind you that the CIM output bearings are not designed for high side loads. If you intend to use them, be sure to add bearings or couple to another shaft with bearings to take the loads. I have seen several CIMs used as the direct input for a worm drive only to have the motor fail when the bearings become worn.
