Complete ELM v.3 High Torque Gearbox
Complete gearbox designed for AK type replicas. During it's production, E&L engineers took from the market the best solutions and implemented few of their own. Set includes ELM170 High Torque motor utilizing with neodymium magneses. Interesting and thoughtful is the structure of bearings - bevel and spur gear are set on ball bearings, while sector gear is set on a slide one. On one hand, it decreases an overall resistance of both gears. On the other hand, sector gear has minimised risk of malfunction thanks to mentioned solution.
Another thing is missing upper lead on greater part of piston. It has second to none influence on it's performance stability, while greatly decreasing friction. Both of mentioned solutions increase overall gearbox performance, result in higher rate of fire with lesser energy usage.
Pneumatic system consists of silenced piston and cylinder head, which also increases durability of the system due to better amortization.
To grade the real durability of installed parts, producent performed gearbox tests using M150 and M170 springs, all of them resulted in positive. In initial test with M150, around 20.000 bbs were shot and the parts were worn in minimal amount. It shows perfectly, that using stock configuration with M130 spring ensures that the whole system will be reliable and long lasting.
Indications v2, v3, v6 does not mean the level of advance, but only shape of gearbox skeleton which was used and selected by the manufacturer depending on the capabilities of the body of the replica. For example, a models of the M4/M16 family, MP5, have a v2 gearbox, while the AK family have gearbox v3.
