  Re: A couple of gear questions
 
(...) For most applications it dosen't really pose a noticeable problem. However this inconsistancey is due to the internal structure and the way in which friction is achived. (URL) the only problem I have with it is that the clutch slips way too (...) (15 years ago, 16-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: A couple of gear questions
 
(...) With the PF and NXT motors, i perhaps agree with you. Of course, you can get any torque limit you want by gearing up and then back down, it's just more awkward. (15 years ago, 16-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: A couple of gear questions
 
(...) That's not a bug- it's a feature. The point is to protect the motor from damage. That said, I bet if you used two clutch gears you'll get twice the allowable torque. I don't recommend it- but you could try it and see what you think. (15 years ago, 17-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)

  Re: A couple of gear questions
 
(...) He probably means two clutch gears in a single axle, meshing with two other gears which also share an axle. That way (in parallel) they should slip at twice the nominal torque. (15 years ago, 18-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: A couple of gear questions
 
(...) Right, that's what I meant- sorry for the confusion. (15 years ago, 18-Apr-09, to lugnet.technic)
