How to attach Bevel Gears to shaft when they are not keyed or have set screws
Ok my team had ordered some bevel gears from mcmaster (6529K11 Steel Plain Bore 20 Deg Angle Miter Gear 16 Pitch, 16 Teeth, 1" Pitch Diameter, 3/8" Bore) and they came without a keyway or a set screw (or a place to put a set screw). This is a problem because as far as my team can figure there is no way to drive a shaft with these bevel gears. Is there a way to drive a shaft without a keyway or a set screw using these bevel gears or did we get shafted and need to return these bevel gears?
