Assembly Instructions
For adding a Ultra 90 Degree Gearbox you will need all of the parts in the Hardware Kit, a 1.5mm Allen Wrench, and a 2mm Allen Wrench.
This assembly guide assumes you have a fully assembled UltraPlanetary Gearbox mounted to your motor of choice. Please see the UltraPlanetary Gearbox assembly instructions if you do not have a fully assembled UltraPlanetary Gearbox.
1) Insert the 20mm long hex shaft into the output of the gearbox. | |
2) Place the Face Mount Spacer on the output of the the gearbox as shown. Note: Line up the short edge of the spacer with a flat side of the UltraPlanetary gearbox body. | |
3) Rotate the hex shaft output so that it lines up with the hex input on the Ultra 90 Degree Gearbox. | |
4) Slide the two gearboxes together. Rotate the Ultra 90 Degree Gearbox until the spacer and gearbox body line up. | |
5) Insert the 4 mounting screws in the holes on the end of the Ultra 90 Degree Gearbox. Ensure that they line up with the holes in the spacer and the gearbox. | |
6) Tighten the 4 mounting screws hand-tight. Then alternate between slightly tightening screws diagonally across from each other in an X shaped pattern. Note: Take care not to over tighten the mounting screws. |
Mounting Thread Engagement
With standard REV channel or brackets, the recommended screw length for mounting the Ultra 90 Degree Gearbox to REV motor brackets or channels is M3 x 6mm (REV-41-1713). REV recommends that no more than 4mm of thread engagement is used to mount the gearbox on the motion pattern faces.
