 | | Curious thick white gear with the slipping hub
|
|
Anyone know what this odd part is good for? One came with my RIS 1.5 system. The hub slips both ways, so it isn't a one-way clutch, and it seems to slip at low torques, so it apparently isn't a mechanical fuse. Thanks! Dave Paule (25 years ago, 1-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Let me reiterate... 40 GBP is a good price for a big set like the shuttle. And if you order 20 at at time, the shipping is less than a 15% or so bump in the price.
