Re: pic: Versa Planetary Plate

We where having the same issues with the gearboxes that move our arms.

We have disassembled them and pressed the pins back in with a arbor press a couple times now. the holes are starting to wear and the press fit is becoming looser. We have plans to disassemble our spare gearboxes and weld the pins in so they can't migrate out.

Edit: I would like to note that we are using the gearboxes well outside the recommended load and ratio ratings. they are currently a 300:1 reduction. 2 stages of 10:1 and 1 stage of 3:1

Edit Edit: I would also like to add that knowing that we are using these gearboxes well above their designed specifications, I am shocked at how well they are taking the abuse we are throwing at them.
