Re: pic: VeraPlanetary Motor Centering Ring

We just designed and fabricated our own plates to match the motor we were using... in our case... we designed a thicker plate with the correct size opening for the AM motor... a thinner plate matching the ones that came with the gearboxes with the correct size holes for both the bag motor and the banebot 550 motor....

We didn't like using the little spacers for the AM motor... and wanted to make changes quickly in the pits for the other motors...

These worked fine... we waterjetted them and they really help in a quick change of motors... We have extra plates with new motors that can be easily switched out.

One word of warning for everyone using those gear boxes... Please use locktite on those set screws... they have a habit of working loose...we have seen this several times on prototypes...

Nice, versatile little gearboxes....
