gearbox compatibility issues
I'm working on trying to come up with ways to hang the tubes on the scoring grid. I'm thinking of hooking a 24" stroke pneumatic linear actuator to a set of 2 gearboxes. I want to attach the banebot rs 550 to a p60 gearbox and then into an andymark toughbox mini to lift the arm. The problem is the output shaft for the p60 is larger than the shaft of a 2.5"CIM that the toughbox is meant for. Does anyone know where I can get an alternate output shaft for the p60 or alternate input gear to the CIM gear provided? I have already checked AndyMark and McMaster for gears.
