Engineering Problem

OK, here is the problem...I need to turn the drive from an S28-150 Magmotor through 90 degrees, I need to safely deal with both the max torque of around 13.5Nm and shaft speed of around 6000 rpm, my original idea was to use a set of induction hardened Mod. 2.5 straight cut (Gleason System) bevel gears but I have been warned that although it would work, that it could be very noisy. Would I be better off using a set of spiral cut bevel gears?
Or can anyone think of a better soloution.
Thanks

Geoff.

(Oh yes, one other thing, it needs to be as light as possible!!)

Geoff you got the money, why dont you just buy one of those funny name teams gear boxes specialy made for Mags. Team Wy thingy. LOL! And its light.

Something like that Geoff ?

Only 1.8kg there Geoff. LOL!

Mr Stu

Ok 1.81437kg!

Been there, seen them! Thats the sort of thing, but at 1.8Kg theyre WAY too heavy! also they have a 2:1 ratio I need 1:1 :sad:

(Plus at the moment $345 + shipping is just not on! :sad: )

Having a mag motor in the first place is not on! LOL!

Mr Stu

Nah, having a Mag motor in a feather is not on! But as regards to you problem just dont do it in the first place hehehe! :P

Apparently they do customisations too.

Does anyone else think a magmotor is overkill? I know I do.

So you havnt met our Astroflight powered featherweight spinner or our Lynch powered heavyweight spinner yet have you Ceri?!! :proud:

Anyway, this one is for the girls to play with!:wink:

But seriously for a moment, anyone got thoughts on the original problem?

Mag Motor is over kill but whos going to stop him its his bot and theres no rules against it so all we can do it beg and plead :sad:. Vortex proved that they are OTT for british featherweights even Ti clad U.S. 30lbs still struggle against Mag powered weapons. :uhoh:

Anyway, this one is for the girls to play with!I think that scares me more than the thought of using a Mag motor in the first place. :proud:

Seriously though all I can think of is find out what gears Team Whyachi use, and build you own 90 degree gear box as light weight as possible.
