Re: Set screw holes to act as keyways

You can get away with a set screw to keep a pulley on a shaft, in a low stress application, such as a continuously rotation situation (think fan blade). Using it in a situation where the load is reversed often, such as in just about any mechanism we put on a robot, will result in bad things happening, since you won't be able to keep the screw tight.
