Well honestly it had this interesting style that is basically a 19mm ID thin walled tube and then there were two large diameter steel donuts with large setscrews in them. Basically the setscrews would be made to bear down on two small cylindrical steel bearings that were then tightened like crazy until they swayed down into the keyways on the ballscrew and motor shafts taking the thin walled tube with it essentially creating a sort of keywayed sleeve. A good design that apparently worked fine but it is a single use kinda setup and the new motors have a 22mm shaft as I recall so these cannot be used. They could not be reused anyway so that is why I need some quality couplers.
I have actually looked at Mcmaster carr as I usually do but did not see what I needed. I actually like the looks of those cut bodied couplers but I am not too sure of their misalignment ability. A quality oldham in the right size should work fine I think....peace Pete On Wednesday, February 13, 2013, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 13 February 2013 20:48, Pete Matos <petefro...@gmail.com> wrote: >> Looking at the board from Mesa I have here I think you guys are right >> that I should have plenty of IO available and perhaps I should use the >> individual home switches after all.
