Actualy, the calculation for a MOD gear is sleightly different.
Z*mod+(2*mod)= outher diameter. The 60 tooth mod 1 example will be 62mm outher diameter (60*1+(2*1), but as Roger says 60mm pitch diameter.( this is the contact point between the 2 gears if alligned perfectly)
I have a question.
For my featherweight, im going to use a lifter/grabber weapon. The beak will be driven by one LA. THe only problem is, both parts of the beak(upper& lower part) move in the upside directions.
Id like to use 2 gears to switch there directions. The only problem is, i cant make it very very precise, so it could be that the 2 gears would slip.
Would this be a problem? also, id like to use MOD 1.5 gears, would those work?
Mod 1.5 are way to heavy in a feather.And gears ,if they can slip, you have beaten the purpose.It has to be rather correct.
ok. Though, I only need 2 gears, but if they must be that correct, id better use something else.
Nils ...Could you post a diagram of your grab set up?
Then perhaps someone could offer a solution to your problem...
Levers/linkages rather than gears may be an alternative.
Ok, ill try to make a diagram ASAP.
The beak mechanism looks a lot like storm& dracen, the only difference is, the 2 parts of the beak move to each other. I could still just use the upper part to move, but it looks so much nicer when both of em move.
Ahh give me chains anyday,
Kinky
