The ideal Steps per Second will also depend on how fast it's turning and how closely meshed the cogs are. Always best to go higher if you can afford the extra processing time for the extra steps. Also, once you've got the animation how you want it you can always bake it so that it doesn't have to recalculate each time. | |

Good enough for now - so thanks for the advice. I'll eventually learn more and get it right. | |

With Split Impulse disabled I then tried increasing the steps per second from 60 to 100 and then to 150. At first I thought it had worked but discovered that the slipping still occurred but after many more rotations. I increased the solver iterations and the bodies went flying away, with Split Impulse enabled or not. I'll keep trying different combinations. | |
