Source for gearboxes, appropriate gearbox type
Hello Shopbot friends:
a) Can anyone recommend a domestic source for a NEMA 23 reduction gearbox? I need 4 for the upgrading of my PRT alpha. I have one quote so far from a domestic company called Carson. Their quote was for a planetary gearbox. I'd like to get some more quotes.
b) Is a planetary gearbox the type of gearbox you would use? If not, what type should I look for?
Thank you, Chuck
