Re: pic: 4speed1
The composite plates are carbon fiber, kevlar, and a foam core material with epoxy resin.
This was actually one of our first attempts with composite plates where we made a mold for the materials, where now we fabricate the composite plates and then machine them out after.
The gears have to have a 5.8 diametral pitch because we machine them on our cnc mills in shop. The drive system ends up with either 5:1, 10:1, 20:1, or 40:1 gear reduction.
