Re: pic: Versa Planetary Plate
Was there any sort of shock loading present on your gearbox?

Last year Neutrino actuated an arm with a 100:1 gearbox through a 4:1 external reduction. Over time, the holes in the carrier plate elongated into an ellipsoidal shape causing the pins to loosen up and slowly pull out.
