The pinion employs a clutch mechanism to help protect your creations from damage.
Brackets can be used with their spacers (3 types) to adapt the equipment to a range of sizes of gearbox, etc.
Parts are compatible with much of the existing range of Educational Construction Series universal plates, arms, gearboxes and more.
