Powering a Conveyor Roller
Hi, CD
Team 1515 ran into a dilemma when finding out that the 3/8" keyed shaft from McMaster is backordered, basically until stop-build day. Our design as is involves 2.5" ABS (tubular) fixed to AM Hubs run on a live axle.

Both the 3/8" AM Hubs and the 3/8" McMaster shaft are currently out of stock.

We would like to ask the CD community what other teams suggest in terms of powering the rollers. Our two constraints are: 3/8" shaft DIA and quick. Ideally, we would like to use a live axle setup.
