Re: Low Cost Planetary Gearbox Source...
Am I the only one that that the pinnion gear split when I pushed it onto the FP shaft?

We tried to use one of these on a mechanism and after I pulled the gear off the FP (using a bearing seperator and drive pin punch on an arbor press) I went to install it on the FP motor. I did not do anything to the splines but instead tried to press the gear straight on and heard the dreadful pop of the pinnion.
