Acrylic Gearbox Sideplates
I've seen teams use delrin, I've seen teams use polycarb. Our team has the resources to use acrylic side plates and I've been thinking about an application for 1/4" or 3/16" acrylic as a gearbox side plate. We have the ability to cut acrylic with a laser and thought it would be the easiest material for us to custom machine.
Acrylic is very very similar to Polycarbonate in everything except for impact strength, as far as I know. A gearbox is a relatively low impact area in my opinion. This makes me wonder, how risky is this scenario? |
