Motor coupling

Student on team #481, DART, from De Anza High School.



We are attaching the motor coupling to our motor. There is no hole in the shaft for the screw. Is drilling a hole in the saft a good idea or should we do something else?
thanx ^.^

: thanx ^.^

we are also using the same stuff this year and it was my impression that there was no need for a hole in the shaft for the set screw. I could be wrong however becuase our stuff isnt coming till tomorrow.

if the shaft is held in place by the set screw on the motor coupling, then you should be fine... although drilling straight through a shaft works, u usually need not bother when you are dealing with set screws. the only time drilling straight through a shaft would be for pins.

good luck.

We just attached the coupling to the gearbox shaft yesterday.

By all means, don't use a set screw. As Woodie says... "set screws inhale audiably" (suck).

Here's what we did, and by the way, this operation was made by a machinist, since no coach or student on our team has ever had sucess doing this operation without buggering it up. So, if you want to do this, get a professional's help.

Put a 3/8" lock washer on the shaft, then thread the motor coupling on (yeah, the one provided by SPI). Screw it on until it bottoms out on the lock washer (lock washer holds it in place).

There is a 1/16" dia. pilot hole on the coupling... use a "spade drill" or a "carbide bit" to drill a pilot hole for a #8-32 screw, all the way through the coupling (this is hard to do).

Once your hole is drilled, use a titanium coated #8-32 tap... I think it's called "titankote" (or something like that)... to tap all the way through the coupling, with the shaft included. Take your time as you tap... don't break it or your gearbox is junk.

Then, put a #8-32 socket head cap screw in there, and voila, a killer coupling attachment.

No, the #8-32 screw is not too big, as long as you don't drill your pilot hole too big.

We used this procedure for the past three years. I think that we've only shattered three screws in the gearbox shaft during competition over the years.

Good luck, and be careful... like I said, get a pro to help you with this one!

Andy B.

Andy,

You folks have been doing this for 3 years?

Why didn't you share with us?!?

I have a serious question: The 3 failures you have had, what was the fix? Was it a new transmission or just a new screw?

Do Tell.

Joe J.

Posted by Joe Johnson on 1/25/2001 12:32 PM EST:



OK, here are some explainations:

Three failures:
'99: TKO's tank treads had absolutely no slippage. We shredded one gearbox in Chicago. Also, we snapped two pins (screws) during non-important operating times. The gearbox failure was not due to the pin design.

'00: We went through the entire year (including 4 competitions) without any pin (screw) breakages. We just broke one last week, as we were driving TechnoBeast up and down the ramp. I think that the hole was kinda wallered out due to vigorous driving over the course of the year.

The fix was always to simply replace the gearbox and shaft with a new gearbox and shaft. Like I mentioned on a previous post, the switch is not too hard to do, if you have a backup already assembled. We will have backups this year, for sure.

As for sharing, I'm assuming that you're being sarcastic... we're given away this design! No, we didn't exactly tell people how to drill and tap the sensitive hole, but WE weren't even sure how it was done.

Here's how I do it:
I brings in 4 gearboxes and couplings to machine shop, and ask friend to pin the coupling to the hardened shaft by drilling and tapping all the way through for a #8-32 screw. They ask "why can't you do this"... I say "we've boogered up 4 gearboxes already, and we're giving up. I'll buy you a Dew if you can do it." About 2 hours later, I find the gearboxes and couplings assembled and lying on my desk.

Like I said, unless you're a darn good machinist, get a pro to do this for you.

By the way, this is the only part of our machine that we have "pros" make for us. We all have this capability... if other teams want the same, then they should go to a local machine shop and ask them to do this single task.

Your mileage may vary.

Andy B.

i guess i need more experience with these set screws...

good info to know considering we were planning to screw the pins and go with the screws (did i confuse u there? ) hehe...

welll, we'll see what happens...

set screws=bad, pins=good? am i getting it?

well, although machining is half the fun, we're not that luxurious to have access to one....so we try to manage as much as we can without having to customize stuff and using raw materials that we can fabricate using simple tools.

I guess during heavy torque conditions slippage may happen with the set screws... fine fine... i'll pin the darn things... (1 or 2? hehe)

I don't think the coupler has any set screws... (none that I would consider set screws) It's threaded and has 4 screws along the side to clamp it down over the drive shaft and whatever you're driving, as a compression type fitting rather than set screwing.

Ok, so the drill motor coupling can be seen as two part: the first half attaching to the output shaft of the drill motor gear assembly, and the second half attaching to a 3/8" shaft. Both halves each have two #6-32 UNC-28 set screws on the side for tightening the whole coulping so it will grip harder on the drill output shaft as well as the 3/8" shaft.

Now the difference between the two halves is that:

the first half (for drill motor gear assembly) is threaded internally so it can be screwed on, with a 1/16" hole on the side for a spring pin to prevent the coupling from unscrewing.

the second half (for a 3/8" shaft) is smooth internally (not threaded), NO 1/16" hole on the side, and a 1/8" keyway so you can make a identical keyway on a 3/8" shaft and use keystock to lock that shaft with the coupling.

Now, what Andy suggested is a modification on the first half, where you use a lock washer to grip the coupling tightly on the motor output shaft (same way lock washers lock nuts on a bolt), and enlarge the 1/16" pin hole, tap the hole, and use a #8-32 screw (which to my knowledge we count that as set screw) instead of a pin to prevent the coupling from unscrewing. Since the lock washer is always locking the coupling pretty hard, there won't be as much stress on the #8-32 screw, therefore it worked nicely.

As for the other half, I am not sure how strong are the two #6-32 UNC-28 set screw on the side, but on theory they can be tighten so the 3/8" shaft won't slip out, while the key prevents that 3/8" shaft from spinning freely. But you would want to support both side of that 3/8" shaft anyway because of the side load if you are putting a sprocket on it to drive a drive train. In the process of supporting the shaft on both side and/or mounting a sprocket on the shaft you can figure out a way of making sure that shaft won't slide out of the motor coupling...

also... as a note, we did everything above except tap hole to fit in a set screw... we figured it did not need it, but if you guys suggest it, i'll see what our machinist thinks of it...

the shaft end of things is the confusion to us and we are just going to drive on it and just tighten those set screws as much as possible and see what happens. we do not expect to have problems, but we'll see what happens anyway.

thanks for the info...

Actually, Small Parts did not include the 1/16in dowel they had originally listed. They sent 1/8 in dowels instead, with a small "use these instead" note, but no small "install these like this" note. I'm just wondering if the SPI switch to 1/8 in dowels makes this a more attractive method, or if the #8 screw is still the best way. Has anybody actually tried it yet?
