Friction on Rotation Sensor

Hi, All.

I'm having a problem with a rotation sensor and I was wondering if somebody
already solved that.
I have 2 rotation sensors. One of them works fine. The other one works well
as a sensor but the rotating axle has considerable friction. Since I usually
gear it down for precision, the torque generated by this friction is
"amplified" and is causing some trouble. For example, if I use a clutch gear
it usually slips.

Is there anyway I can solve that without disassembling the rotating sensor?
I thought about lubrification but I'm afraid to damage it. Could this
friction reduce with time due to usage?

Are you sure it is the sensor itself? We have found that the axis is often "off" a bit from canonical LEGO spacing, and if built into a structure, binds quite a bit. But if you assemble it so that the body (blue) of the sensor can "float" with (...) (22 years ago, 26-Jun-02, to lugnet.robotics)
