2004 Tecknokats Drive System

[Clark Gilbert]

The one you're thinking of is probably the 2003 Gearbox. The gearbox they designed and used this year was quite a bit different (larger size and different motors).

[Andy Brockway]

If you look closely at the gearbox picture you will see a hose clamp around a cylinder in front of the fisher/drill motor. Andy Baker showed me this really neat sub-assembly. It takes the first reduction out of the drill gearbox and uses it to reduce the fisher or drill motor speed to near CIM motor output. Of course you need to put a drill gear on the fisher motor and there is an adapter to compensate for the difference in motor OD. All in all a very nice design that puts the two motors on the same side.

I think I have this essentially correct and am looking forward for the white paper on this. I can envision all sorts of mechansims that could use this subassembly

I believe it was Joe Johnson from Chief Delphi who was telling a few of my team members and I about a similar assembly though he described using a gearbox from some other larger Bosch drill with three speeds. He said 47 would be releasing a white paper on it, if im not mistaken.

We need to get some good pictures of our switching gearbox and the planetary reducer for the drill and FP. We used it for the FP, but it could be used for the drill (easier, in fact). This stuff will be posted within a few days.

Well, just what have you been doing since February 26th?
The build season has been over for weeks.

Just curious Andy, any more info/pics on the 2004 Technokat drive? We'd all love to see more.
