I'll allow it...

Engineer on team #47, Chief Delphi, from Pontiac Central High School and Delphi Automotive Systems. In Reply to: Can I drill the output shafts of unmodifiable motors? Posted by CArobot on 1/17/2001 7:39 PM EST: Not that it is up to me! Yes, you are allowed to modify the output shafts of motors. But... Chief Delphi recommends against it if you can help it. Why? Because your motor may fail. If you need another, you will either have to get more before hand (not always easy, or cheap or even possible). If you cannot modify some spares before hand, then you will have to make a feild modification with a motor from FIRST obtained when you turn in your broken motor. This can be very tricky. So... if you can get away without having to modify your output shafts or can utilize easily made modifications, you will be ahead in the long run. Joe J. P.S. You are not allowed to take apart the motors with worm drives in order to pull power directly from the armature rather than going through the (relatively) inefficient worm drives. |
