I saw that a little on the mini cheetah ring gears. There I located the rings with a fixture that was a very close fit to the ID for machining. Some of the rings took a litle prying to remove from the fixture after machining most of the OD away, suggesting they ovalized slightly. But in that case, the rings were pressed into a housing that forced them back to round.
Daaaaamn that looks beasty! (Very curious to see that spin!)
ReplyDeleteTitanium screws? Pushing it to the limit :D
ReplyDeleteno, just blue zinc plated steel
DeleteAh i see (the shadow tricked me ;) it looks so good!
DeleteDo you ever experience high spots from post-machining OTS gears? KHK warns against this for warping reasons, I was curious for your experience!
