Re: Versa Planetary v2 (3:1) Planet Gear Seizing

We experienced similar issues today. BRAND NEW 3:1 stage.

1x775 into a 3:1, single stage VP.

Just as you are describing, a single planet began to seize on its pin. The seized planet was even swapped for used planet gear from 2016 with the exact same results. The transmission almost immediately began to seize from the same pin.

The gearbox was reassembled multiple times by different people and was properly greased. Maybe it's time to explore needle bearings...
