Re: Changing the Shafts on a Toughbox Nano

We used these gearboxes last year and custom made output shafts on a lathe from 7075 Hex, very straight forward. The output bearing is an R8 size, use hex or round as needed.

You simply pull the E Clip out, and disassemble. I found a open ended wrench worked well to push the E Clip back into place above the gear ( tight area to work)


The upper mounting holes have very little ( inadequate really) clearance with the mounted CIM motor. We had to machine the 10-24 cap heads down in diameter to not have a interference condition.
