You're making aluminum gears? I would think very hard about that before committing to a design that revolves around them. Travis has posted on here how there's no way we would have attempted the gearbox we did in 2007 if it hadn't been able to take care of his and Kirk's senior design project as well. There's hundreds of hours of machining alone put into them. The resources are really better spent elsewhere.
Regardless of the material, you need to do the math to see if 3/16" face width will work for you. It probably will for the initial reduction, but my gut instinct is there's no way it will hold up on the output.
Every year, 118 inspires our team to dream for the stars, and land on mars. If 118 wasn't there we wouldn't be off the ground. Think about it every superstar has critics. Keep doing what you do 118. - xSAWxBLADEx [more]
