Revert Output Mechanism

For our GBC 50 Tow Lift we needed very sturdy and reliable revert output mechanism. To really understand what is going on you need to build and feel it but in general due to the input axle movement the red following gear will switch sides and interact with a different out put gear.

This mechanism can also be used to control 2 outputs with just a single motor. However for our purposes we have connected the 2 output gear to each other so that the output axle will always rotate in the same direction, regardless of the direction of the input axle. How cool is that! This is again one of those cases where GBCs indeed offer more complexity and ingenuity over a more traditional LEGO set.

Out of the box

Would you have ever believe that our GBC 42 Linear Loco Lifters is build from part of a LEGO Concrete Mixer Truck?
It’s hard to imagine but it is true!

It took quite some time to get the idea out and transform it into what you see today. The mechanics in this machine for sure triggers the mind and we have even written an article about is some time ago.

 

This same, complete out of the box, transformation is the case for our upcoming GBC 50 Tow Lift.

 

The sound of music is here

When on exhibitions everyone asks us about our Xylophone Keys and we completely understand why!! They just sound wonderful and add some more than welcome playful sounds to any GBC module.

There are 2 versions available: The complete rainbow set or a set of 4 individual keys.
We made sure that both will work in our next GBC entry GBC 50 Tow Lift flawlessly.

 

 

A new kind of timings mechanism

Can you figure it out from the picture alone? This new kind of timings mechanisms serves 2 purposes. You will see it in action soon, once the product video is live. It took quite some time to get this all figured out combined with the rest of the Tow Lift Module. Read all about it now on our updated product page.

 

Update! NEW Powered Up Splitter Cable

Expand your creativity by using our new Powered up Splitter Cable. We have redesigned and better marked the female output side which enhances the user play experience.
Next we now also offer a version where the second output reverses the action of what is connected to the main output. This can be handy in custom train builds where you want 2 train motors to mount in opposite directions.
