Ratchet Sport

This kit is the perfect addition to a Sport Gearbox to control back drive. This all-metal ratchet assembly is as rock solid and easy to use as the Sport gearboxes it works with. In fact, you can even add it to an already installed gearbox without changing the motor or the gearbox. Just detach the motor, add the ratchet to it, and reattach the assembly.

The ratchet was designed from the ground up with releasability in mind, meaning you can release the ratchet UNDER LOAD in just about any application you can come up with, including supporting a full weight FRC robot without having to lift any of the weight off! This also opens up a whole new set of potential mechanism applications as there is an off-the-shelf solution for easy in-match actuation via a small air cylinder or Servo.

This product can be set to lock either clockwise or counterclockwise depending on how it is assembled. Check out the assembly instructions at the bottom of the page for more details. Please note, when using the servo, the standard cover plate is replaced by the servo version of the cover plate.
