Re: pic: High Reduction 2-Stage Gearbox

Do you mind explaining or posting your Lewis Gear calcs? The formulas and calculations themselves are kinda configurable, and I've run into issues not including all the necessary factors. My opinion on 32DP gears is that they're great for the first stage, but a little iffier on second stage, especially with 8" wheels. I would also caution against an aluminum pinion on the second stage since you're running 8" wheels. I've never actually run a 32DP gearbox so I'm hesitant to use it throughout a high-torque gearbox. But if you think the calculations are all good, I'd love to see how it turns out.
