Go to Post I think we're doing pretty well . . . but I will never, ever say that "we are ahead of schedule." It's a curse. :D - Éowyn [more]

Re: Banebot Transmission Issues

We put both banebot transmissions on a little test platform robot (20lbs?) that we were using for coding while the robot was being built.

We were getting some strange behavior with one of the transmissions where it would periodically develop a tight spot. We ran in the transmission with an old CIM for about 10min with a battery and no load. No difference. We disassembled it and flushed it. There were little silver metal chips in the flushing.

We then ran it in backwards with a dewalt drill on the output shaft for a few minutes with no load and mineral spirits for a lubricant. After this, we flushed it again and blew it out lubed and reassembled it. It ran fine after this.

If you do decide to flush it, remember that the solvent will get into the output shaft bearings.
