These amazing continuous rotation channel gearbox kits with a 3.8:1 gear ratio are a game - changer for robotics enthusiasts. They come with threaded side mounts, which make it a breeze to attach a standard - sized servo to a wide range of Actobotics products like tubing and channel. This means you can easily integrate a servo - powered gearbox into your custom pan & tilt setups, mechanical devices, or robotic structures. The kit features a hardened 1/2” stainless - steel final shaft with dual ABEC - 5 precision ball bearings. These bearings can handle up to 200 pounds of vertical and horizontal loads, ensuring durability and reliability. Moreover, the output shaft has a 0.382' bore, allowing you to pass wires through the center axis of the gearbox kit. Actobotics is an excellent robotics building system that uses extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to its two standardized hole patterns, most Actobotics components can be connected together intuitively. With such a wide variety of components, building complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects is now within reach. Note: This gearbox kit does not include a servo. Check the related items section for different Hitec servo options. Kit Includes: 1x Channel Mount Gear Box - Continuous Rotation, 1x Hub Mount Gear, 1x 3.8:1 Servo Gear, 1x Potentiometer Mounting Bracket, 1x 0.77' x 0.77' Servo Hub, 1x ½' Clamp Hub, 1x 6 - 32 x 3/8' Set Screw, 4x 6 - 32 x ½' Socket Head Screw, 4x 6 - 32 x ¼' Phillips Head Screw. Features: Unlimited rated rotation, a 3.8:1 gear ratio, a standard servo size, and a 0.77' hub pattern. Documents: Product Page (SPG400A - CM - CR38), Assembly Instructions.
Using this gearbox kit is easy. First, pick a suitable Hitec servo as the kit doesn't come with one. Then, use the threaded side mounts to attach the standard - sized servo to Actobotics products such as tubing or channel. This way, you can set up your custom pan & tilt, mechanical device, or robotic structure. When it comes to the load, remember that the dual ABEC - 5 precision ball bearings on the hardened 1/2” stainless - steel final shaft can support up to 200 pounds of vertical and horizontal loads. Don't overload it to keep the kit working well. The output shaft has a 0.382' bore, which is great for passing wires through the center axis. Make sure to route the wires neatly to avoid any interference. As for maintenance, keep the kit clean. You can use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off dust and debris. Check the screws regularly to ensure they are tightened properly. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, replace the parts as soon as possible. And always follow the assembly instructions provided with the kit for a smooth installation process.
