The AndyMark EVO Shifter am14u Family Hex Shaft, StageA 2 Stage - 10.86:1 Ratio, StageB 2 Stage - 16.37:1 Ratio represents a significant advancement in shifting transmission gearboxes. This two-speed, shift-on-the-fly gearbox incorporates an enhanced 4-tooth dog shifting mechanism, allowing for smooth and efficient transitions between gears. It is compatible with two CIM or NEO motors and can be configured with either two or three interior stages, offering flexibility in output shaft selection. The gearbox is delivered assembled, though motors are not pre-installed.

Significant improvements have been made over previous models, including a robust 1/8" diameter shoulder screw and a dog gear crafted from AMPCO® 18 Bronze, which provides added strength and lubricity. The shift block assembly has been reinforced with a larger bearing and threaded steel housing. The input stage features 32 DP gears and a 15-tooth pinion gear, facilitating a high 85:15 first stage reduction. Users can independently select high and low ratios, with the option to swap ratios as needed. Additional encoder options are available, enhancing the gearbox's adaptability.

The EVO Shifter is designed with aggressive weight reduction features and can be mounted to an AM14U family chassis or a 2"x1" box tube frame. It employs a pneumatic shift method, utilizing a spring-extend pneumatic cylinder for reliable performance even under varying conditions. The gearbox's weight ranges from 2.9 to 3.5 pounds, depending on the configuration.

Note: Proper greasing is essential for optimal operation and longevity of the gearbox. It is recommended to run the gearbox for 30 minutes without grease for initial wear-in, followed by periodic application of grease to the spur gears.
