Description

Product Usage: All AndyMark gearboxes require grease for proper operation and long life. We suggest using our red tacky grease, am-2768. We also encourage that the user powers the gearbox continuously for 30 minutes without grease to allow the gear teeth to wear in. While we do design with short run times in mind, this 'run in' period for smooth gearbox operation, is recommended. Once this is completed, thorough grease of the gear teeth periodically to ensure smooth operation.
Single speed planetary gearbox, with the same mounting and output interface as a 2.5 in. CIM motor. Each planet gear has its own bearing to spin freely on the carrier plate pins. A 2.5 in. CIM Motor may also be used as the motor input, but requires this pinion gear ( am-0556) and a CIM Spacer (am-0555).
2.5 in. CIM Motor can be mounted, with a bored-out sun gear and a spacer

Two - 8mm id ball bearings, (19mm od, 22mm od) supporting output shaft
One - Steel planet and sun gears, 32 dp, 20 degree p.a.
Five - Planet gears (12 tooth)
One - 15 tooth sun gear, with 0.125 inch bore
One - 40 tooth ring gear

Gives Lots of Options
Converting a FP or AM motor with gear reduction to CIM mounting gives us a lot of options. I used this in our shooter this year, prototyped with the new AM Worm drive and even used to test new transmission ideas. Thanks AM!!!!!
