Tamiya 70260 Universal Gearbox 2 - Visible Assembly Gearbox

The Tamiya 70260 Universal Gearbox 2 is intended for those exploring mechanical systems through building. The transparent ABS case reveals internal workings so you can study gear engagement, backlash, and the effect of load on the drive train.

Construction and Function

The gearbox supplies two outputs - a 3mm hex shaft and a 2mm shaft - so you can power different components or select the best output for your design. Removable mounting options let you attach the gearbox on any side to change output direction. A clutch mechanism helps reduce mechanical stress when a driven element stalls or jams.

Use Cases and Integration

Designed to integrate with a range of Tamiya robotics and construction kits, the Tamiya 70260 fits classroom builds, prototypes, and hobby projects. The clear housing also makes fault finding easier, helping you fine tune gear alignment and lubrication needs.

Test on a bench rig with a moderate speed motor and a small load to observe gear behaviour. Watch for irregular noise or heat build-up which can indicate misalignment.
Yes, it is compatible with many small robotic projects when matched with suitable motors and mounting. The dual outputs allow flexible drive arrangements for drivetrains or manipulators.
Ensure proper mesh, keep debris out of the case, avoid overloading, and apply light appropriate lubrication to prolong gear life. Regular inspection will catch wear before it causes failure.
