PTO help

For our new robot we wanted to make a pto for the drivetrain and we were having problems with it not sliding well. We have to use an 84 tooth for the gear that has to be moved.

  1. Picture please!!!
  2. Are you sure you want to use an 84 tooth gear?

We need a picture to help you or at least a more detailed description (a video would be nice). In the meantime, here are some recommendations:

  1. Sand down the axle-hole (where the axle goes through) of the gear a bit. It will lead to some slop, but a lot less friction
  2. Bevel the outer edge of the teeth a bit. This helps the teeth mesh together better.
