Oh, ok.? It's because you wrote this earlier:
"Also, my outer block bearings should realign themselves because mine float and are pressed by a tangential spring.? So I think the inner block needs the Belleville washer not the outer.? Maybe it's best to do both if there is enough space"
That was with "DIY spring loaded worms v2" where only the outer block was floating so in the case of radial motion the inner block bearing would become misaligned.? My thinking (for v3) was that by aligning the blocks though the cover plate there will be no misalignment, but then of course the bottom screws of both blocks must be slightly loose to allow the assembly to move.? However if this does not solve my 76 second cycle I will reconsider the Belleville washers.
But, to fix this 76 second problem, you need axial self-alignment, not lateral float.
Right in this version there is no axial self-alignment, both blocks are screwed tight to the cover plate.? The only self-alignment is in the radial direction towards the ring gear.
