| | | | The CD-Rom does not explaiin how to use this piece, but in an earlier post I wrote: Ok, this is called a "Slip Gear" or "Torque Gear" It is used to prevent over rotation by means of an internal clutch, the 2.5 - 5.0 NCM I belive means the range of (...)

(I think we established that this is Newton centimeters - a force of between two and a half and five Newtons applied at a distance of one centimeter will cause the gear to slip...or half that at 2cm, a third at 3cm and so on).

Also I consider this gear a "back-up" in preventing (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | | Oh , right , Newtons , I was saying Nano centameters! thanks....I guess you need a fair amount of gearing and distance to use these gears effectivly along with opposing resistance, I love the way it works in the hand I developed, infact in included (...)
