Re: How to create a direct drive for an AndyMark 0915 Motor (am-0912).

You can use a versaplanetary 10:1 gearbox to make a 1:1 adapter. Just pull the whole ring gear, planets, sun and the middle housing section. The output shaft mounts right to where the sun was and you just screw it back together. We had a wheel spinning at 19,000RPM off a BB550 motor for one of our prototypes. We're using very small wheels.

The versaplanetaries come with a 1/2" hex shaft but you can modify it to a 1/2" shaft with key way.
