Unlock Peak Performance with Precision Gearbox Shimming

Are you tired of that annoying whining noise coming from your gearbox when you fire your airsoft gun? Or perhaps you’ve noticed premature wear on your gearbox components, increased stress on the motor, a sluggish rate of fire, and poor battery life? The solution to these common issues lies in the art of gearbox shimming.

What is Gearbox Shimming?

Gearbox shimming is a crucial practice in the world of Gelsoft, where small spacers, known as shims, are used to meticulously align the gears within your gearbox. The primary objective is to ensure that these gears function seamlessly, providing you with optimal performance and a quiet, efficient operation.

Why is Proper Shimming Vital?

Proper shimming achieves two main goals:

1. Maximizing Tooth Contact: By spacing the gears correctly, we aim to maximize the contact between the teeth on each gear. This reduces wear and tear on your components while ensuring a smooth gear rotation.
2. Minimizing Unwanted Movement: We also strive to minimize lateral movement within the gearbox. Excessive movement can lead to gears binding with each other or the gearbox casing, causing performance issues.

The Impact on Performance

Even if you have the finest quality gearbox components, your Gelsoft gun can feel lacklustre, excessively noisy and sluggish if not properly shimmed. Proper shimming is the secret sauce that transforms a mediocre setup into a high-performing, smooth running powerhouse.

In essence, gearbox shimming is not just a ‘nice to have’ – it’s an essential step towards achieving a well-running gearbox.
