Re: 2017 Bosch Seat Motor
My team has had good results, both last year and this year, using 3/8" hex shaft after drilling out the plastic spline and broaching. However, none of our applications have required the full torque capability listed on this motor's data sheet. We have used it to adjust tilt angle for various mechanisms that do not have a lot of overhanging load.
After broaching 3/8" hex, the plastic coupling is fairly thin. Has anyone used this method and loaded it heavily; e.g., torque > 100 in-lb?
