Re: pic: Shaft Drive Bearing Blocks
How about mounting both bearings on either side of one support, and get rid of the othe support? it would save some weight, and should give adequate strength to hold the gear in alignment.

Re: pic: Shaft Drive Bearing Blocks
Great work on your drive train system! One thing to think about that I thought of... How about making a worm gear system. I think this would be more reliable than the one that you currently have, and you will have much greater control of your robot. The only thing is that you probably would want a fairly small gear on the axle that goes to the wheel.
Just my $0.02... |

The problem with worm gears is in the efficiency. They are usually about 60-70% efficient as opposed to the 95% efficiency of a miter gear. Some worm gears are even as low as 20% though I have also seen 98% reported. |

And it would make it about impossible to push the robot around without turning it on and having the controls. Since it usually has to go in the back of my truck to go to demos, etc. I would really hate that ![]() |
