    which servos do you use? and which gear?

    Hi,

    obviously servos with 360° rotation are verrry expensive and probably you can control a normal gauge in a B737-800 with a normal servo and the correct gear, but where do you buy this gear? or do you have different approaches to this problem?

    All the best, Marc

    Here is a link to building a brake pressure gauge using a servo

    http://www.737ng.co.uk/djb/brake_pressure_gauge.pdf

    The gears can be obtained here or just do a search on the web

    From memory (not to be trusted!!) the servo moves around 180deg when used on opencockpits boards. When making the pressure gauge I think I used a 2:1 gear ratio. It is always better to have some movement to spare, especially as these servos get a bit jittery when approaching the full extent of their movement. Of course, the greater the gear ratio then the more chance of the needle appearing jittery. Try it and see

    You need 48P or better for smooth operation. Beware of cheap servo's!!! They don't center the same or go to the same spot every time. You get what you pay for, cheap servo, inaccurate gauge movement/positioning. You don't need a 360deg or 180deg for that matter.
