Re: Simple (so i think) motor mounting question

I guess you are asking how to keep the hob from coming off the shaft?

You can put set screws on the hub. The shaft of the cim is threaded. A screw and a washer is a possibility.

If you are using the bearings in the motor to locate everything, You have a large overhung load on the motor. Bending the motor shaft is something to be concerned about.
