I’ve been looking at this part, Technic, Arm 2 x 5 with 1/4 Gear 8 Tooth Double Bevel, and I figure it should be simple enough to use it to flip something to one side, but I’d like to know if anyone has tried doing this in a Technic creation of their own ,and if there are any special considerations for using this gear in that regard.

I used that part to act as the fulcrum and geared lever for the suspension on my Blue Quad.



   I’d also like to know if it can be made so it will auto-return (either by gravity or gearing) to it’s original orientation afterwards. It would seem simple enough to mount the gear on the central hole and then engage it with another gear at a certain angle.

I used the part to create an shock absorb/dampen system, because the part is also used as a fulcrum, the shock returns it to position, depending on the mechanical load transfered to the geared section of this “gear/lift arm”.



   Anyone have some good construction ideas using this gear?

:)

  
Cheers ...
