Guys,
How can I reduce the noise that comes from a set of gears?
O.T. (duh its rtl)
I have a cool new weiser lock set; the automated kind. Forget keys, just punch
in a code. Its so cool!!!
When I leave the house, I lock the door by pressing ONE BUTTON!!! thats the
goos news. the bad news is that the simple 3v dcv motor, drives what is
essentially a worm to 24 (ish) gear set. This actions slams the bolt into place.
It really is DEATH!!!
The bad news is that the the motor noise, and 2 second gear whirring(?) noise is
enuff to wake sleeping babe's.
OTHER than adding sound insulation around the housing, what can i do to quiet
this down.
YES i know I can find a quiet non-toy 3V DC motor, but that would require a
complete rebuild.
What causes gear noise? is it just the lash??
Chris

The kind with 5 buttons. We worked out that worse case a person (...) (20 years ago, 15-Dec-04, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
