Re: Banebots 42mm gearbox: Recommendations for use
Our team is using two of these 256:1 gearboxes for our arm as well, and I've been thinking about heat treating the carrier plate and/or the output shaft. I talked to my materials professor today, and he said it could be done if I knew exactly what kind of tool steel the output shaft and the carrier plate were made of....does anyone know the material specifications? Without these specifications, I imagine we may experience the same sort of fast fracture that others are talking about if I can't figure out the exact type of tool steel.
