1726 Beginning Week Three

[redbarron]

I was doing a quick gear box just using a 12 tooth spur gear on the motor to a 24 tooth spur gear on the output. Now that I seen that I might have the kids test a shooter with the higher range......... did you guys happen to measure how much extra distance was coming out of that extra 1500 rpm?

i saw the banebots gearbox on what appears to be the banebots 545 motor...is this correct? If so, why did you choose this motor for this application, and if you guys can, or have, what did you get as the output RPM of that planetary? Thanks a lot...looks great!

This is the new 2009 KOP Banebots RS-545 motor, installed on the old 2007 KOP Banebots 64:1 36mm planetary transmission. That transmission is still for sale from Banebots, and although it is sold with an RS-540 motor, it's easy to swap the motors if you have a new pinion gear (we bought several pinion gears and an extra transmission in 2007 because we thought we might use the transmission then, but did not).

We were looking at using the same exact planetary with that motor, however using it in a different application than a turret....thats why I was asking for the output RPM....thanks for the info though!
