Title: Stack Gear And Horn
Post by: ajayre on February 19, 2009, 11:44:14 PM

Is there an easy way to attach both a gear and a horn to a servo? The gear would be closest to the servo housing followed by the horn on top.

I know that Servo City sells shafts with gears and hubs, but this is for an open source project so I want to keep the cost down and use commonly found items, rather that items from only one source.

thanks, Andy

You could drill out a spur gear for RC cars, and screw it unto the underside of a servo horn. Then the servo horn screws into the servo normally.
