Re: Need help with the planetary drive on T-4XC
|
Gary, That is my plan. I am going to stop at Harbor Freight today and pick up an 8 in C clamp. I have been thinking about how the assembly should go. My?theory?of the moment is that the preload pressure on the spring sets the rotation tension (similar to the set screw on the PTO shaft) and the positioning of the large brass shaft aligns the bearing housing to be vertical. Not knowing what the preload should be, or anyway to measure it, it is probably going to be an iterative procedure. I will let you know how it goes.
Bill,
These are planetary drives..? the "bearings" are actually like gears, THEY are what you need to pre-load.
Clamp it end to end to compress the spring a little, then tighten the screws.
That is my idea anyway.. having never worked on a C-line vernier, hi hi...
