Gear Drive

The following details the assembly instructions for the Gear Drive configuration. This configuration has 3 ratio options that are listed in the Ratio Options Page

Blue Loctite (McMaster P/N 1004A12) is recommended on all bolts that thread into a tapped hole.

Step 1

Slide the components on to the Falcon Spline to 1/2” Hex Adapter in the order shown in the image below.

If you do not have a gear ratio selected already, there is a table listed in the Ratio Options Page that you can pick from.

Step 2

Install the components in the order shown in the image below. They will be concentric with the bearing hole marked in green in the image below. The Driven Gear must be installed during this step.

Constrain the 1/2” ThunderHex Shaft with two 1/2” Hex Clamping Collars. The Collars should be flat with the ThunderHex Bearing flanges.

The wheel guard standoffs were removed to help clarify the image below. They do not have to be removed in order to complete this step.

Step 3

Install the Falcon 500 using #10-32 x 3/8”L Bolts. The Solid Roller Wheels can be shifted to the otherside of the Shooter to help with this step. When the motor is installed, slide the assembly from Drive Step 1 onto the Falcon Output shaft.

Slide the Solid Roller Wheels back to the center of the shooter. Use the 1/2” Hex Clamping Collars to constrain the wheels.
