Re: Method to direct drive HEX Shaft
I am aware of the lateral loads on CIMS. We are not trying to direct drive something with a hex opening we are trying to drive the shaft which is supported by its own bearings. The hex shaft to 8mm adapter really would not do it alone since we would need a coupler. I think we will 3d print a hub into our design and then bolt the 8mm CIM hub to that so its compact strong and clean. Thanks for the feedback.
