(...) Actually it rotates separately only above a certain torque (if you don't know what torque is, think force), that's the 2.5 - 5.0 Ncm mentioned on the inscription. You can use it to prevent damage to your model when your gear train is stalled. (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

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 operable force applied before the clutch disengages. Nano Centemeter of force. In (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

I think it is called a "clutch" gear. It is used in place of a regular gear when the gear train that it is in may get locked up. It will then slip, which will prevent damage to the motor. I imagine it has other uses too... -HTH -Andy Lynch ----- (...) (24 years ago, 3-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hello! There is a part in my RIS set which i have never used. Nor can I think of what it could be used for, or describe it without using words like "weird" and "what the". It's a thick white gear, 1 stud wide by three studs in diameter. One one (...) (24 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

Hi, I've got a way to use a Rotation sensor and a light sensor on the same input, and get reliable, useful values from both. This is for real. See : (URL) was interested if anyone else has done this. Enjoy everyone. Mike Amy (24 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
