Re: Using Window Motor with VEX Ball Shifter?
Update to that design if you are interested. The wood dowel is NOT suffiecient for the loads that we are putting on this motor.
During testing today the cotter pin that holds the black coupler to the inner shaft tore through the wooden dowel inside the coupler, and got wrapped completely around the inner shaft. We assumed that it broke off and shattered but it just got sucked through the wood and bound around the inner shaft.
Tomorrow we will be replaces that wood dowel with a drilled out aluminum stock rod.
