Find a way to attach gear to DC motor shaft #19

Closed JacobLoufek closed 7 months ago

JacobLoufek commented 7 months ago

The DC motor outputs torque to a 10mm shaft. Our gears are 3/8in shaft. The DC motor has a bigger shaft than the gears. We need to figure out a way to step down the shaft to fit the gear. We also have to make sure that the the gear does not spin.

Materials ideas: Forged carbon fiber, aluminum lathed (Not 3D printed parts because they are weak)
