Steps 5-10

Step 5

This step can be omitted if the brake was not purchased.

The brake must be assembled in place. For more detailed brake assembly steps, refer to the WCP Friction Brake Manual.

Step 6

Attach the two halves of the gearbox using four #10-32 x 1.75”L bolts and four 1.125”L spacers.

If the brake was not installed in Step 5, the 1/2” Hex to Spline Adapter can be skipped.

Step 7

Attached desired output sprocket and retain with 1/2” Snap Ring.

Step 8

Use two #10-32 x 1/2”L bolts to attach the Mag Encoder mount.

The CTRE Mag Encoder Mount is not included and may be printed. Teams may choose to design their own mount or use the one in the CAD model. Magnet will come pre-installed in the shaft.

Step 9

The gearbox spacer is required for the proper spacing to mount to a 1”x2” tube. Align the spacer plate with the gearbox plate and use the mounting holes.

Step 10

Apply Lucas Red "N" Tacky grease to all gears after final assembly to ensure smooth operation and reduce wear during use. Once greased, rotate and spin the wheel to distribute the grease evenly before powering up.

After running gearbox for 15-30 minutes, reapply a light amount of grease. Reapply as needed.
