06 June 2018 Question by: Rapid Customer | Product code: 37-1210
Q. I have a large number of motors and so ideally I would just like to buy approx. 10 of the gearbox kits without the motors. Is this possible? The motors have a 2mm drive shaft.
A. Hi Peter, thank you for your question. Sorry we are only able to supply the gear box kit complete.


23 November 2015 Question by: Rapid Customer | Product code: 37-1210
Q. Can the gear ratio be adjusted while the motor is running? e.g. without stopping its action? Also, when the ratio is 4:1, can we achieve for example 500 RPM?
A. Hi John, thank you for your question. The gear ration cannot be adjusted whilst in motion, to get around 500rpm you need a 16:1 ration at around 1.7V please see the data sheet for more information.
