Hi Glenn and All, I found this out when I bought a bunch of Crown pallet
jack forklift motors. There are several choices. First is just buy a bearing
endplate for that motor size, brand, likely 6.7". Around $70 last I checked.
I being cheap just use a drill press and a hole saw to make space for the
bearing. Then I set it in epoxy on the motor so it is perfectly centered, let
cure. With machine tools it should be easy to make a centered tight fit
for the standard bearing, likely a 1'' inside, 2" outside one. Jerry

Hello all,
I hope this is not to rudimentary a question: Is there a best practice
document, or “how to” out there somewhere that describes adding a second
bearing to a forklift drive motor?
My local used forklift motor reseller says most of his motors are single
bearing motors, and adding a second bearing entails to much machining for him
to do.
Well, I have a machine shop at home, but no idea what is involved, as Iam new
to the EV world.
So any tips or suggestions for retrofitting a second bearing would be most
welcome.
(BTW, my initial thought is why not just put an external pillow block, or
flange bearing, around the output shaft..but, no idea what is the proper method
to retrofit.]
Thanks!
