Re: Banebot Transmission Issues
Boy am I glad that we chose to use four KOP trannies instead of two with our 4 CIMs in the drivetrain. We also ran in each motor/trans combination without load for a few hours - they definitely loosened up after that and drew nearly half the current of when we first started.
Our design is such that a change now would be nearly impossible, so we're going with the KOP trannies - but we might just disassemble them, clean them out and refresh the grease.
The small 64:1 trans will be sued for a light load, but we ran that in as well.
Counterbalance was not somehting we considered, but in retrospect it should've been obvious - thanks Joe J for reminding us.
