Both the AM 9015 and the BB 550 are RS-500 style motors so they should have the same mounting features and shaft size. As long as you can get the correct pinion gear on the 9015 it should work. |
Using this kit with an AndyMark 9015 motor requires some care, because that motor has a knurled shaft. Refer to the layout drawing provided on the AM site; measurement over the knurls is larger than the pinion bore by 0.002 inch at the tolerance limits. Be careful to keep the shaft square to the pinion and to the tool you are using to press.
Also, the AM 9015 has a longer shaft than BB500. Not sure if there is enough clearance inside the P60 to accept that shaft without trimming; in any case the pinion will have to be pressed further so that the AM 9015 shaft protrudes, not simply flush with shaft as you would for the BB500.
