Re: pic: Team 955's take on 4 speeds (back)

Having a shaft supported by three bearings is like an over-constraint. The only way you should even consider doing this is if you are certain you can keep tolerances to around .0004 (yes 4 ten-thousandths) and trust me, that is not an easy thing to do, even on a CNC.

Will it work with three bearings on a shaft? Yes. Will it bind and cause a loss of efficiency? Yes.
