Re: How to Attach Shafts to Motors
If you want to use a gear reduction, then many gearboxes on AM and VEXPro have gears compatible with the CIM gear. These gearboxes then output to 1/2" hex or keyed round shafts, which can be coupled to sprockets, wheels, etc.
If you'd like to use direct drive, get hubs. Lots of hubs. These are compatible with the KoP wheels, sprockets, belts, etc. We generally buy these hubs and then build our own custom mounts for them. Sometimes we connect 2 hubs together (same bolt pattern) to convert a 10mm shaft to a 1/2" shaft (for example).
