Wow, what a great turnout. Thanks!
I spoke with one of the engineers that makes the anti-backlash gears (SDP/SI) and we arrived at the conclusion that the two biggest factors involved are : control of the gear distance and lubrication.
The design allows for the encoder to be moved back and...
Thanks Mike for your reply.
The larger aluminium gear is being eroded by the smaller stainless gear.
The metallic powder is clearly coming from the meshing. There is no obvious signs of wear between the two halves.
There is practically no torque being transmitted between the two gears. The...
Hello,
I seem to be having problems with two different material gears meshing together. In certain cases, I see a a lot of metallic dust accumulate (as shown in the pictures). I assume that is because of the wear between the two gears.
Detailed info:
The larger gear is made out of aluminium...
