--- Quote from: goofy on September 09, 2004, 07:58:54 pm ---Anyone? Also, How do you keep the spindle from having side-to-side movement? I've got a 1/4" spindle and a 1/4" bushing, but there is still some play which translates into wobble at the encoder wheel. --- End quote --- Don't use a bronze bushing, use a bearing instead. You can get a bearing with the exact ID to match the OD of your spinner shaft. Check out any hobby store that sells Radio Control cars/planes, or online www.towerhobbies.com will has a full line of bearings. With a bearing you can eliminate 100% of shaft wobble side to side. Up and down motion can be limited with bearings on the shaft and a metal collar around the shaft to prevent up/down motion. You'll have a slight bit of up/down play, but even as much as an eighth of an inch is fine as long as the encoder wheel isn't hitting the encoder board... Mike B |
