Making your own dust washer out of plexiglass?

Pages: << < (13/14) > >>

Franco B:

The shafts of the Sanwa JLW/U360 is 9mm. You want a hole in the washer approx 9.5mm for clearance when actuating the stick.

The Sanwa JLW comes with a 1.5" (38mm) washer and the U360 comes with a 2.5" (63.5mm) washer.

Martijn:

little but offtopic, but does anyone know why the washers of the u360 don't stay flat when you move the joystick? it tilts a little when you move the stick to a way, no restrictor applied btw

and what is the little metal ring for that came with the washers?

Franco B:

It tilts the washer as there is not enough clearance between the shaft and the washer when the joystick is actuated. The stock washers have a clearance of 0.35mm which is why I suggested 0.5mm clearance. Thats what diameter bore I made my stainless ones.

As for the metal ring, i'm not sure which part you mean?

Martijn:

is the tilt gone with circular restrictor? or should i make it more wide, or let it be..



this ring came with it, it has almost the same hole size as the washer hole

I just wanted to mention that we've been supplying acrylic dust washers for the VersaBall shafts to our vendor customers for a while now.  The laser makes some nice edge work, so if anyone wants clear in ~1/16" thick acrylic, I can do a run of them.  Just give me the dimensions you need them in.  They'll cost a couple of bucks each.

I'll add the standard size to the store if anyone is interested in those.
