Hoi allemaal,
Door het sneuvelen van mijn sailwinch ben ik een wat gaan snuffelen op het internet en kwam ik de volgende tekst tegen:
Karbonite Gear Announcement
Due to some reported servo output shaft failures, Hitec has changed the horn screw on all Karbonite geared servos from 8mm to 10mm in length. This increased the strength of the output shaft eliminating potential for a problem. If you have any Karbonite servos with the 8mm screws contact our service department at service@hitecrcd.com and we will be happy to send you the new 10mm screws at no charge. Please be aware that there were only a hand full of failures out of thousands of servos sold, but Hitec felt the need to address the issue with this change.
Furthermore, it has been determined that using any chemical thread locking agent like Loctite on the Karbonite gears to help secure the screw can weaken the material potentially causing it to fail. Note that there is no need to use Loctite or any other agent on the screw. The Karbonite gear material will not allow the screws to back out, even under high vibration.
Hitec RCD USA, Inc. apologizes for this inconvenience but felt it was the best course of action to prevent any future problems with the Karbonite geared servos. Karbonite is an advanced gear material technology that allows the servo to handle 4 times greater load without failing and zero wear, even after hundreds of thousands of cycles!
If you have any questions or concerns about these or any Hitec products please contact us at: service@hitecrcd.com
Bij mijn trommel bevestiging zou het weleens zo kunnen zijn geweest dat het schroefje niet diep genoeg in de uitgaande as gezeten heeft....
Pas er dus op!!!
Groetjes Remco
