Bevel Gears not turning at the same speed.

Hello All,

Another question. I have setup two bevel gears I can get them to run, and also in the right direction. However I cannot get them to go at the same speed without applying a servo motor to both gears. Is there some way around this to only apply one servo motor, or are two servos a must? Thanks in advance for the help.

    Yep, use the generic gear connection.

    Mechanism may be using the reference axes to determine the ratio. You need to set this to user ratio. Bevel gears act a little different behind the scenes than spur gears. With spur gears, I can set whatever ration I want under a user definition.

    Thanks for the reply Antonius. Could you please explain where and how I set it to the "user ratio". Thanks.
