hobby servos "amplifier"

Aug 14, 2006 7 Replies

Hello everyone. There is a gizmo for hobby servos that is a set of gears that effectively "amplifies" the push/pull power of a hobby servo. I've seen them here and there, but can't think of what they are called; and so far simple Google searches haven't gotten me anywhere.



I'm sure someone on here knows what I am talking about! I'm looking for the name of the gizmos and/or a web site that offers them.



Your help is appreciated in advance ! JCD

Yeah - that's it !!! The Gear Box !!! Thanks Gordon !

For those interested, since the robotzone website seems to be under reconstruction at the moment, I went looking for more info on the gear box itself, and found some here:

Scroll down to the post marked "Engine Shaft Rotator #4" to find a blurb on servo modifications needed to use the gear box.

Thanks again ! JCD

if you were into building your own servo's out of say, windshield wiper motors you could also use something like

which has mostof the design work you need (be it on a smaller scale)
