Re: pic: Toughbox Gear, destroyed
B-Morris,
Please listen to this post very carefully: You must lube this gearbox or you will get the failure shown in your picture! The Am toughbox uses the same basic gears that was used in the 2005 Kit of Parts. Andy Baker, JVN, and I designed that original gearbox and it also had to be lubricated. They do not need much grease, just put some on the teeth. These gears are plenty hard for our application. Team 217 has been using these exact gears since 2005 and we have had ZERO problems and we have used them on 3 motor gearboxes and robots with much more power than this year. By the way, I am an expert as I design gears for industrial robots that have to run 24 / 7 and last for 10 years. Please, please, please lubricate these gears with grease and you will never have a problem. Paul
