Re: pic: Found these on our quadrennium robot checkup
We saw a similar problem in a WCP 11T pinion this offseason. It turned out that in our gearbox, the CIM itself was flexing around because we removed one of the spacers that held it in place. The flex created enough separation in the gears for the teeth to occasionally slip past each other, wearing the teeth over time. We replaced it with a new 11T and put the spacer back in, and never had problems again.
So, if you see tooth wear like this, it isn't necessarily a grease problem.
