Which Black and Decker gearboxes did you use for your steering motors? Is there a good source for these? I've never seen these used before, but based on the CAD it doesn't look like a lot of modifications needed to be made. Any particular tricks required to get them to work?
I don't know the part No. and such off the top of m head, but I'll get back to you on that after shop tonight. The gearbox is a 27 to 1 ratio. It has the ability to be torque limited, and it's zero maintenance. We have found them very useful in many situations. there are two custom parts, and a couple modifications required, so we made instructions on how to make one. I'll get back to you with that as well.
