Product Overview
Product Usage:
All AndyMark gearboxes require grease for proper operation and long life. We suggest using our red tacky grease, am-2768. We also encourage that the user powers the gearbox continuously for 30 minutes without grease to allow the gear teeth to wear in. While we do design with short run times in mind, this 'run in' period for smooth gearbox operation, is recommended. Once this is completed, thorough grease of the gear teeth periodically to ensure smooth operation.
Single speed planetary gearbox, with the same mounting and output interface as a 2.5" CIM motor. Each planet gear has its own bearing to spin freely on the carrier plate pins. A 2.5" CIM Motor may also be used as the motor input, but requires this pinion gear ( am-0556) and a CIM Spacer (am-0555).
Motor Input:
(with the input being a 9015 Fisher-Price motor)
Bearings and screws were not made in the USA. All other components were designed, manufactured and assembled in the United States of America.
Assembly Tip:
Install the aluminum plate to the face of the motor BEFORE pressing the pinion gear onto the motor shaft.

Review
The mounting instructions aren't available for mounting this gearbox with the adapter to the CIM motor. Screws for CIM motor aren't included with CIM adapter for this gearbox.The hex ring gear is moving a little bit inside the housing.

Gives Lots of Options
Converting a FP or AM motor with gear reduction to CIM mounting gives us a lot of options. I used this in our shooter this year, prototyped with the new AM Worm drive and even used to test new transmission ideas. Thanks AM!!!!!
