Re: 2017 Bosch Seat Motor
I opened up one of these yesterday and found something that's pretty different than the cut-away on the WPI site. That one had a plastic gear broached in a star pattern, the one we have seems to be a plastic gear driving (by some kind of rubber damper) a metal plate with an output that looks more like a plus sign. Needless to say this is far harder to machine an output shaft for than the hex or square recommendations in the resources.
We considered taking the whole back plate off and bolting the mechanism directly to the rotating plate but I'm concerned about compromising stability and the potential legality issues. Another thought was to tap the weird pointed output on the exterior of the motor and use red locktite to connect a drive screw to it...though this is suboptimal...
Anyone have any ideas of (preferably machining-free) ways to adapt this motor's output?
Thanks.
