# Gearbox Selection

## General Information

The GreyT Elevator (Cascade) is compatible with any gearbox that has 1/2" hex output and mounting holes that are inline and 1/2" to 1" pitch from the output.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Gearboxes that do not meet these requirements will need custom mounting solutions.
{% endhint %}

Extra mounting holes can be easily added through the use of 1" x 1" x 0.090" Aluminum Angle, or any other Aluminum Angle.

## WCP Single Stage Gearbox

An example gearbox that is used for the assembly steps in this manual is the [WCP Single Stage Gearbox](https://docs.wcproducts.com/welcome/gearboxes/wcp-single-stage-gearbox/).

The WCP Single Stage Gearbox Front Plate has a 2x2 grid of tapped holes and clearance holes that can be used for mounting. In the image below, the holes marked in green are tapped and the holes marked in orange are clearance for #10-32.

{% hint style="info" %}
The clearance holes marked in orange have a 3/8" c-bore that sits on the inside of the gearbox. If you intend to use these holes for mounting the gearbox, the Front Plate will have to be mounted before the gearbox can be assembled.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wcproducts.com/welcome/greyt/greyt-elevator-cascade/general-info/gearbox-selection.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
