Reminds me of...That's pretty cool technology. <br /><br />Reminds me of the time a friend and I rebuilt my manual transmission. Things lining up was VERY very important ! <br /><br />Do you think my axle design would work (for lower loads?)...Fjrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02313630970361767305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15162339.post-36999491037420170582010-08-31T08:23:52.566-06:002010-08-31T08:23:52.566-06:00I can't point you to a supplier, but you can s...I can't point you to a supplier, but you can save a lot of trouble by using Dodge D-lok bearings. http://www.dodge-pt.com/products/bearing/ball_bearing/dlok.html<br />They have a concentric clamp that ensures your shaft is centered in the bearing, and it also allows for looser tolerances on your shaft material. Finally, they have a spherical outside profile that ensures that bearing 1 and bearing 2 are lined up, saving you from fatigue failure. If you need to fix something to the shaft I'd recommend either b-loc http://www.fennerdrives.com/keyless_bushings/b_loc_keyless_bushings.aspx or Trantorque http://www.fennerdrives.com/keyless_bushings/trantorque_home.aspx Keyless bushings. These have the same advantages as the d-lok bearing.<br /><br />No, I'm not a salesmen, I'm a mechanical engineer.Whizbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516635450810600585noreply@blogger.com
