The connector board allows teams to easily connectorize the power and CAN screw terminals on the back of the Talon FX. This helps simplify wiring and facilitates faster motor swaps. In addition, one of the connectors outputs power and CAN, allowing you to power a CAN based sensor like a CANcoder. **Boards Available:** * Kraken X60 Powered by TalonFX PowerPole Adapter Board * Kraken X60 Powered by TalonFX Flipped PowerPole Adapter Board * Kraken X44 Powered by TalonFX Flipped PowerPole Adapter Board

### Pinions Motor Pinions are smaller gears that are design to fit on a motor shaft. These gears use a wider 3/4" face width to help strengthen the gear tooth. {% hint style="info" %} **Center Distance** Some pinions are designed with a profile shift. This profile shift does two things: * Removes undercut on the tooth, making it stronger and easier to manufacture. * Increases the center distance of the pinion. You must account for the increase in center distance when using these pinions. For example, a 10T gear on 12T center distance, will act like a 10T gear when you're doing ratio calculations but act like a 12T gear when you're doing center distance calculations. Another way to think about it is if you have a 12T (on 12T spacing) gear driving a 60T gear, it can be replaced with a 10T (on 12T spacing) without having to change the center distance. With the 12T (on 12T spacing) gear, the ratio was 5:1 (60/12). With a 10T (on 12T spacing) gear, the ratio is 6:1 (60/10) {% endhint %} #### 20 DP Gear Pinions

| Center Distance | # of Teeth | | --------------- | ---------- | | 10t | 8, 9 | | 12t | 10, 11, 12 | | 14t | 12, 13, 14 | | 16t | 14, 15, 16 | #### 10DP Gear Pinions * 10T Steel Spur Gear (10DP, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

#### #25 Chain Pinions The #25 Motor pinions allow for teams to directly transfer motion throughout their system with the use of the #25 chain. * 10T Steel Double Hub Sprocket (#25 Chain, 8mm SplineXS Bore) * 12T Steel Double Hub Sprocket (#25 Chain, 8mm SplineXS Bore)

### Pulleys Theses pulleys allow teams to directly transfer motion throughout their system with the use of GT2 or HTD timing belts. * 12T x 9mm Wide Aluminum Pulley (HTD 5mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore) * 12T x 15mm Wide Aluminum Pulley (HTD 5mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore) * 16t x 9mm Wide Double Flange Aluminum Pulley (GT2 3mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore) * 16t x 15mm Wide Double Flange Aluminum Pulley (GT2 3mm, 8mm SplineXS Bore)
