Partially sorted Technic components

Lego Technic is a Lego product series made from plastic rods, parts and clamping blocks . In this series, Lego mainly sells more advanced models with more complex technical functions, compared to the modular block constructions in other Lego series, which mainly focus on other aspects, such as high play value for children or good looks ("showcase models").

The concept was introduced in 1977 as the “ Expert Builder ” series with the slogan “ Technology as in reality” and was renamed Technic in 1984 .

Technic kits often use special components, such as B. gears , axles and pins. Other special parts are lift arms and perforated plates, for example as axle bearings . Some sets are also equipped with pneumatic parts or electric motors. In recent years, the Technic components have also increasingly been carried over to other Lego sets, including the Bionicle sets (which were previously sold as part of the Technic series), as well as many others.

The style of Lego Technic sets has changed over time. Technic sets manufactured since 2000 use a different construction method known as "nubless construction". This method uses lift arms and pins instead of Lego blocks.

Mindstorms , a Lego series for building robots, also uses many Technic parts, although it is marketed as a separate line of products. The Mindstorms NXT sets (since 2006) and the latest Mindstorms EV3 series (since 2013) are based on the nub-free design.

Lego Technic components

Various Technic components

The Lego Technic system extends the normal Lego bricks with a whole range of new components that enable new functions and construction styles. The most significant change compared to normal Lego bricks is that the single-row bricks ("bars") have round holes through their vertical surface. These holes can accommodate pins to firmly connect two perforated bars side by side or at an angle. The holes also serve as bearings for axles to which gears and wheels can be attached to create complex mechanisms. Knobless beams (" knobs " are the round buttons on traditional Lego bricks), known as "lift arms", were first introduced in 1989, and in the 1990s and 2000s there were more and more lift arm designs over time.

"Knobbed" (bar) versus "Knobless" (lift arms)

Construction from nub-free lift arms (2013)


The basic elements of classic Lego Technic models are knobbed bars with holes, a variation of the normal Lego bricks. Knobless beams (lift arms) have been in Technic sets since 1989, and these were originally primarily used as styling elements or to make smaller sub-assemblies that were then attached to the rest of the frame with pins. With an increasing number of lift arm designs, a turning point was reached around the year 2000 when models were introduced that were constructed primarily from lift arms rather than traditional beams. This change from a predominantly knobbed to a predominantly knobless design represented a major paradigm shift and was quite controversial.

The main advantage of the nub-free design are new construction methods that were not possible before. Lift arms are exactly one unit high, in contrast to knobbed bars, which are a non-integer multiple (6/5) of a unit high. The use of studded beams can be cumbersome in vertical constructions, as plates have to be inserted between the beams so that the vertical distances match the hole distances. Knobless lift arms allow greater flexibility in building in multiple dimensions while remaining compatible with classic beams. Some hobbyists also find that models made from knobless lift arms look more beautiful than their counterparts with knobbed bars.

However, the nub-free design also has disadvantages. Knobless building is not immediately intuitive, so the designer has to think five or six steps ahead. While the beam construction follows the classic bottom-up pattern, the nub-free construction requires building from the inside out. Knobless constructions are often more flexible than an equivalent beam construction. This is due to the flexibility of the fixing pins used to secure the nubless parts, while the beams provide a stiffer friction fit. So-called panels were introduced to cover the nub-free models .

From 2005 Lego began to include studded bars back in the Technic series, which can be seen in sets such as the crane truck ' 8421 '. However, the bars are primarily used for mounting front grilles in vehicles and transparent panels as lights.

Gear transmission

Transmission from different gears

Gears have been in Lego Technic sets since 1977 to transmit and translate rotary movements . Gears come in different sizes: spur gears with 8 teeth, 16 teeth, 24 teeth and 40 teeth; Double bevel gears with 12 teeth, 20 teeth, 28 teeth and 36 teeth; and single bevel gears with 12 teeth and 20 teeth. The double bevel gears are cut so that they can also mesh as spur gears. There is also a spur clutch gear with 16 teeth, a double bevel gear clutch gear with 20 teeth and a slip clutch gear with 24 teeth, which slip at a certain torque to prevent motors from damaging parts or burning themselves out.

In addition to the regular gears, some kits include a rack , clutch, and even worm gears and differential gears . The original differential had a 28-tooth bevel gear designed to mesh with the 14-tooth bevel gears (replaced by the 12-tooth gears) for a 2: 1 reduction ratio. It can also be meshed with the newer double bevel gears. It has been replaced with a newer design that includes 16-tooth and 24-tooth gears on opposite sides of the housing. The housing houses three 12-tooth bevel gears.

An updated version of the original differential has been available since 2008, which has been optimized for the nub-free design.

Even chains have been introduced as an additional way to connect gears. The tension (which results from the correct number of chain links used) together with the combination of the gear sizes used is decisive for reliable operation. The smallest 8-tooth gears are not recommended for this purpose.

Engines

The Lego Technic system has always included a selection of different electric motors . These are roughly divided into battery-operated (via a connected battery box) and mains-operated (via a transformer). While some sets are sold directly with motors and complementary components, some other sets are only prepared for the installation of electric motors, which can be purchased separately.

The very first motors 'x469b' had a voltage of 4.5 volts and consisted of a modified "model railway motor" 'x469'. Along with the four powered bushings for the wheels, an axle hole was added which made it possible to use axles of different lengths. Although these were issued in kits with Technic parts, they were not sold as Technic engines.

Electric system

The first dedicated Technic motor was a rounded 4.5 volt '6216m' building block released in 1977 as part of the Expert Builder Power Pack ' 960 ' and the ' 870 ' add-on set . This gave off its power via a small protruding axis that turned when the motor was connected. The engine had no gearbox, and thus a high speed with low torque. Gearboxes and a square case were available. A 12-volt motor with the same dimensions as the 4.5-volt motor was offered in the ' 880 ' set . The 12-volt version is visually distinguishable in that it is not gray, but black.

In 1990 a 9 volt '2838' motor was introduced and sold in sets until 1996. This motor had a cuboid housing with a 4 × 5 footprint. Without a built-in gearbox, the protruding axis turned relatively quickly at 4100 rpm. In 1997 the motor was replaced by a somewhat more compact 9V mini-motor '71427' with gearbox, which only rotates at 360 rpm. This was replaced in 2002 by a lighter, but externally identical model '43362'.

Power Functions

At the end of 2007 a new motor system called Power Functions was released, first included in the ' 8275 ' “RC Bulldozer” set. It consists of a set of engines, two IR receivers, an infrared - remote control and a battery box, resulting in a remote-controlled model is created. The motors now contain an axle hole instead of the fixed axle, which enables the use of axles of different lengths.

With these sets it is possible to control mechanical movements with the help of motors via switches or by remote control. A few more functions and controls were added later. Lego also sold Technic models that were prepared for easy retrofitting with Power Functions or that could be upgraded with alternatives from other manufacturers such as SBrick or Buwizz. For example, models like the ' 8294 ' excavator and the ' 8295 ' telescopic handler are sold as classic Lego Technic models with manual operation, but already contain the free space for the Power Functions components and their instructions describe how they can be converted .

For Power Functions product line includes linear drive silo equipment ( linear actuators ) which are not sold separately, and in many models such as the excavators ' 8294 ' and the truck with power jib crane ' 8258 are used'.

Control +

In early 2019, Lego announced a new system for motorizing sets called Control +. The new system is controlled by smartphone via Bluetooth instead of a physical controller. The components are sold both in sets and individually. Lego has released two flagship sets to demonstrate the new system: the all-wheel drive Xtreme off-road vehicle ' 42099 ' and the Liebherr R 9800 excavator ' 42100 '. Control + is not backward compatible with the Power Functions and cannot easily be transferred to models that you have designed yourself.

Pneumatic

First and second generation pneumatic components

Lego Pneumatic components were introduced in 1984 with the ' 8851 ' set and allow the construction of functional pneumatic systems that convert compressed air into mechanical movement. The individual pneumatic components in the model often reproduce hydraulic components from their models.

Pneumatic circuits in Lego Technic include a pressure pump , compressed air hoses , changeover valves (switches), working cylinders , and optionally a compressed air tank . The hoses are made of flexible rubber and are connected with thinner plastic tubes such as T-pieces . In the first generation of pneumatics (1984–1988) the cylinders only had a single air connection and were operated in two directions with negative pressure and positive pressure. The air pump (in red) was able to generate both types of pressure; an additional distributor block with check valves separated the two directions of flow. The force in the suction direction was restricted due to the principle involved.

In the second generation from 1989 onwards, double-acting cylinders with two connections were introduced that could both be extended and retracted with compressed air. The new air pump (in yellow) got a check valve in order to only generate overpressure (like a bicycle pump ). In addition, a small pump without a spring was introduced in 1992 with the truck ' 8868 ', which from then on could be operated with an electric motor as an electric compressor . In 1997 the submarine ' 8250 ' added a blue compressed air tank ("Air Tank"), which could store enough compressed air for several cylinder retraction and extension cycles.

With the increasing nub-free design, nub-free versions of switches and cylinders in different sizes have also been introduced over time. In newer models, the purely mechanical linear drives introduced later take on the classic tasks of pneumatic cylinders.

Technic figures

Technic figure

Technic figures are figures that appeared sporadically in Technic sets, but often in the CyberSlam / Competition series. They were first introduced in the Arctic Action series in 1986 and were manufactured until 2001. They are significantly larger than the Lego men ( minifigs ) and have a few more joints, including flexible elbow and knee joints. The figures are delivered already assembled and are not intended to be disassembled, but the individual parts can be separated by pulling hard. They can be joined with both the regular Lego bricks and Technic pieces, and the Technic pegs fit in your hands. There were 27 different Technic figures, some sets contained the same figures but with different accessories and stickers.

In 1999 Lego Technic introduced the Slizer, colorful action figures that were built with Lego Technic parts and sold in the Technic series. The Slizer sets came out between 1999 and 2000 and consisted of 10 main characters fire, ice, city, deep sea, master, jungle, rocks, energy, flames and lightning as well as 2 titanium figures Millennium and thunder. Slizer was later replaced by RoboRiders in 2000. RoboRiders were conceptually similar to the Slizers built from Technic with six main characters Swamp, Lava, Frost, Onyx, Dust, Power and The Boss. RoboRiders was replaced by Bionicle the following year, which later spun off into its own line and has not been part of Lego Technic since then.

  1. Age: The age information mainly indicates the target group for whom a set is interesting from Lego's point of view, not how complicated the construction is. Sets with age information under “from 7 years” are usually easier to build. But even the most complicated Lego sets can be built by children with at least 2 years of Lego (Technic) building experience.
