After lots of sourcing and searching, I’ve managed to get hold of a gear supplier who is able to manufacture herringbone gears to my specified design and tolerances.
Coq Tease~
Manufacturing is on-going and will take several weeks to complete…I’ll update once I get my hands on the parts!
I should get this thread on the other forum too huh… ><
Yeah, i sure did! dual Helicals are cheaper to make, but the company quoted me the same price for both dual helical and herringbone gears, so why not go with herringbone! The reason why it took me so long to get it done was due to the sourcing and searching for a competitively priced manufacturer who was willing enough to take this project up…
They have all the benefits of helical gears, without the issue of axial loads. Ideally, i’m trying to make a silent gear drive, but only real-life testing will tell (:
Woow such a high level content with not so many followers. I hope it’s because is a new channel.
Interesting for the gears. well I guess existing gear drive only have to update the 2 gears and they are ready to go.
Another question I got by looking at the pictures. Why the choice of a steal or aluminium motor pulley and a POM or similar gear for the wheel? Is it to reduce the noise level?
